So said Vitor “Vitorbrasil” Moreira when we asked him about Event #48-M of the 2020 World Championship of Online Poker.
It was a $530 buy-in no-limit hold’em event played eight-handed in the progressive knockout format. It attracted 3,856 entries, building a huge prize pool of $1.928 million. And some of online poker’s toughest and most consistent performers were there at the end.
“When playing a buy-in of this value, it’s always very challenging,” says Moreira.
The first day went well for the Brazilian. “I was able to maintain a good stack from the beginning,” says Moreira. “I eliminated several players and was able to move forward safely.”
"vpetriu" raised to 4 million from the cutoff. Paulo "pvss" Silva three-bet to 16 million from the big blind and "vpetriu" four-bet jammed for nearly 61.5 million. Silva called and the players were flipping for a huge pot.

Day 3 Action
Day 3 took less than five hours to play out. The day began with 158 survivors looking to increase their $1,017 payout and hoping to make it to another day. Eliminations took place at a fast and furious pace.
Leonid "LeBroHbka" Logunov, Tauan "kylix42" Naves, Alexandru "JustPray" Marcu, Andrey "drupa-lucker" Chernokoz, Sergei "Futti18" Koliakov, Alessandro "HakiD93" Pichierri, Daniel "Razer2311" Rezaei, and Felipe "lipe piv" Boianovsky all making it to the penultimate day but missed out on advancing to the final table.
It looked like Day 3 would end with "Tangawi26" hitting the rail but this player doubled twice to build up to a middle of the pack final table stack. The second double came with cowboys against the big slick held by Belgium's "nickplay412" leaving this player short on chips.
"nickplay412" then got his short stack in good with snowmen but got unlucky against the ace-five suited held by "ID IMPOSS" to exit the tournament in 10th place for $8,256.
