Caio Toledo Proposes Marriage at WSOP

He may have finished in 8th place in the WSOP Monster Stack, but Caio Toledo of Brazil will forever be in 1st place in the heart of his girlfriend - who now proudly displays an engagement ring.

Following his elimination from the Monster Stack final table when his flush lost to a higher flush, Toledo took the opportunity to pop the question to his gf waiting on the rail. Her answer was a resounding "yes," and for a brief moment, winning pots and collecting prize money took a back seat to romance.

Toledo planned his proposal before coming to Las Vegas, keeping it a secret from his lovely girlfriend. " It was a surprise for me, I'm so happy," she said, showing off the ring.

Navigating a huge field of 7,192 to make it to the final table, Toledo sat alongside fellow countryman Fernando Konishi, who placed one position higher in 7th. It was the first-ever WSOP cash for both, and the first-ever cash in any live tournament for the newly-betrothed, according to the Hendon Mob.

Toledo grabbed $150,783 in prize money, while his Brazilian homeboy earned $195,543. The Monster Stack title and $1,286,942 went to American Perry Shiao, whose million-dollar payday included a gold bracelet in his first-ever WSOP cash.

No details yet on a wedding date for the happy couple. Perhaps sometime around the Latin American Poker Tour in Sao Paulo, Brazil from November 24 through December 2?
