"I've been playing live tournaments in Brazil and South America, but in recent years I've tried to expand to other tournaments. This is great, and I'm very happy with my results." Padilla continued, "Everyone is happy for me, and I have many friends watching. I want to give all Brazilians a kiss."

GGPoker has launched a free WSOP Express pathway, allowing players to earn a $30,000 Super Pass for the guaranteed $50 million WSOP Paradise Super Main Event through daily free tickets, cash games with pocket Aces, and more. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Super Main Event is about 12 weeks away from its new home in Baha Mar. The buy-in for this $50 million guaranteed tournament is $26,000, likely well beyond your bankroll, but what if we told you you could play alongside some of the poker legends in this epic event for free? Online poker giant GGPoker—whose parent company owns the WSOP brand—is continuing to roll out WSOP Express, giving players a free chance to qualify for the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event. Claim your free WSOP Express ticket daily: Log into your GGPoker account and go to the WSOP Express tab in the lobby; you should see a free Step 0 ticket. This Step 0 ticket can be used to participate in the Avatar Race, where Lady Luck decides whether you win a Step 1 ticket. After claiming your daily free ticket, you can claim a free Step 1 ticket if you get pocket aces in a cash game; if you get pocket aces three more times in a cash game, you can get a free Step 2 ticket. WSOP Express Step 1 – All-in or Fold 4-Max The first step of WSOP Express is a 1TP 4T 0.50 buy-in (or a Step 1 ticket) all-in or fold 4-Max tournament. You will receive three sets of 80 chips and face off against three opponents in a winner-takes-all contest. As the name suggests, you can only go all-in or fold until one player wins all the chips. GGPoker will award that player a Step 2 ticket. WSOP Express Step 2 – Spin & Gold 6-Max The second step of WSOP Express requires either a 1TP 4T 2 or a Step 2 ticket. Once you enter this stage, you'll compete against five opponents in the Spin & Gold tournament, with the prize pool randomly determined before the first hand is dealt. Most of the time, you'll be vying for a Step 3 ticket, but the random nature of Spin & Gold means that a Step 4 ticket, a 1TP 4T 3,500 ring pass, a 1TP 4T 10,000 bracelet pass, or even a 1TP 4T 30,000 super pass could all be won in just a few minutes.
