Felipe Boianovsky's Wild Ride to the Title
Brazilian star Felipe Boianovsky solidified his status as one of Brazil's top professionals by winning the prestigious $50,000 Super High Roller in São Paulo. Entering the final day as the chipleader, Boianovsky faced a challenging path to victory. Throughout the final table, he dropped to a short stack several times but skillfully turned the situation around with a series of precise decisions and crucial double-ups. The nail-biting final day was streamed live on YouTube and is available for replay:
The final day started with 15 players, joined by three more at the last moment. In total, the event recorded 40 entries, and the prizepool soared to $1,880,000. In a tough field, Boianovsky emerged victorious, overcoming the defending champion Leandro Zavodini in heads-up to claim the title and $640,000. In the decisive hand, Zavodini went all-in with Q d J d after the board showed Q c 3 c 6 d J c 2 d making two pairs, but Boianovsky held the winning flush with A c 5 c.
This win marks his second-largest live career payout and pushed him past the $3 million mark in total live earnings, positioning him among the top 10 most successful Brazilian players of all time.

Ottomar Ladva Redeems in $20K One-Day Super High Roller
Just two days after losing a dramatic heads-up against Martin Kabrhel and finishing second in the $30K High Roller, Estonian pro Ottomar Ladva returned with a clear mission — to reclaim what he had missed. And this time, he accomplished it. In the $20,000 Super High Roller one-day event, which attracted 58 entries, Ladva delivered a focused performance that led him to the title.
After a heads-up deal with Brazilian player Rodrigo Selouan, Ladva secured the largest share of the $1,160,000 prizepool and then clinched the trophy with a definitive victory. His impressive play earned him $321,000, marking his biggest win in the current BSOP Super High Roller Series.
The event was fast-paced, with Brazilian players dominating for most of the day. The final table had a strong South American presence, but it was the Estonian who made all the right moves in critical moments.
