The Future's Brito
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the casino, Fernando Brito has taken down the €10,000 NLH side event, for €90,000, defeating Rob Hollink heads up. Although Mr. Brito doesn't get any points for this one (it drew only 13 runners, plus [Removed:283] who won this event in Vilamoura rebought once), the Portuguese-born businessman currently tops the Season 7 leader board anyway.
51 year old Brito, who now lives in Brazil, came sixth in the EPT London Main Event as well as taking down a side event there. He also came second in a side event at EPT Vilamoura. A most impressive performance - particularly given that he's only been playing poker for 18 months or so.
