Felipe Ramos is making the most of his first trip to Melbourne for the Aussie Millions, and we grabbed a quick word with him during the break.
"Melbourne is very nice," he said. "It's become one of my favorite cities in the world; level with Barcelona and Amsterdam. I think that the city has a really great mix - there's a lot of activities to do but then also a lot of green spaces, which I like very much.
"The people are really nice and that's a very good thing to have whenever you go to a poker stop. The beaches as well! Sometimes you go to poker venues where the only option is to be stuck in the poker room all day. That's not very healthy I think for people who have to think for a living!
"I like living the poker lifestyle, and this city offers the poker lifestyle that I love."
Ramos has played a couple of events, including the $25,000 Challenge and a fourth place in the 8-Game.
"Fourth was disappointing for me, because I entered the final table as chip leader. It's my favorite format of poker. But I'm now happy to be playing here in my first Aussie Millions Main Event."
And how is his first taste of the Aussie Millions Main Event going?
"I could have a better table for starters! There are three pros including Kitty Kuo [who finished 3rd in the $25,000 Challenge]," said Ramos. "There are some other decent recreational players as well so my table is strong.
"I didn't have a very good start; I lost over half my stack. But now I'm back to half stack and I'm ready to go!"
