6:10pm: Chatting with Gualter Salles
Lynn Gilmartin chatted with Team PokerStars Brazil Pro Gualter Salles during one of the breaks.


5:55pm: Chiquita!
If you had 5:55pm local time in the pool for the first time a player shouted "Chiquita!", then you'll win. Just now, one player shouted "Chiquita!" and a few other players randomly shouted back "Chiquita!"

5:50pm: 25 tables remaining
All of the tables that were outside the ballroom have been broken. Approximately 245 players are playing on 25 tables inside the ballroom.

5:40pm: Neto loses a few
Joao "Jack Bauer" Neto opened with a raise from the hijack seat and got three callers from the button and blinds, creating a pot of about 5,000. The flop came [Qd][Ah][3c] and it checked to Neto who continued for 2,800. The player on the button called, and both blinds got out.

The turn brought the [6s] and a couple of checks, then the [5h] fell on the river. Neto checked again, and when his opponent responded with a check of his own, Neto shook his head, mucking even before his opponent showed his [Qs][9c]. Neto sits with about 40,000 at present.

5:37pm: Level 6 begins
We're halfway through the scheduled 10 levels for Day 1. The blinds are now 200-400 with a 75 ante.
