LAPT Runner-Up Renata Teixeira Refuels Brazil's Newfound Poker Passion

'Purple was the new yellow-and-green' on Twitter and Facebook during the recent LAPT 8 Chile 2015 Final Table, in honor of Brazil's Renatinha! @Renata Teixeira De Paulo scored the best result by a female player in Brazilian poker history and the biggest cash & highest finish by a woman in all 8 seasons of the @Latin American Poker Tour so far. 

After blazing for several months with #vamosfostera and the first-ever Brazilian November Niner @Bruno Politano, poker fever exploded again in Brazil with Renata's great run in the LAPT Chile Main Event. This time the hashtag was #somostodosxtinhax and the color was purple but the carnival spirit in the rail and the excitement of the fans was just the same! 

The purple-haired pro made her Akkari Team (sponsored by PokerStars Team Pro @Andre Akkari)  proud and is sure to inspire more Brazilian women to ride the poker wave under the #VamosBrasileiras banner :)

The deal:

Teixeira: $113,460; @Oscar Alache Orrego: $111,962; @Jose Ignacio Barbero: $100,073; @Osvaldo Venegas: $86,505. Play then resumed for the title and $20,000, which ultimately went to Chile's now two-time LAPT champion, Oscar Alache!

Special congratulations to our own hero at the final table - Nacho Barbero, who finished 4th!  We hope that Renata herself will join the growing Brazilian group within the RankingHero community and maybe @Mustafa Ali will help extend the open invitation :)
