Brazil’s rise to the global poker scene is something every Brazilian can be proud of and has the country’s thousands of fans dreaming of bigger dreams. A few years ago, $100,000 in box office revenue was huge and widely celebrated by our community, but now that number is getting bigger and bigger.
The most recent results saw Felipe Ketzer (Venom, The Team and member of The Team) Never Standard Poker earn an impressive $1,146,260th place out of 3,522 entrants Two brings the number of Brazilian players to 11 in the Online Millions table.
Ketzer also ranks the top 10 highest winnings at Brazilian poker online tables. His name now sits at No. 5, knocking 2023 10th Anniversary Sunday Million winner Ricardo Nagatomo off the list.
PokerLab’s Edson Tsutsumi remains at the top of the list with a $1,907,034 win in the 2021 WSOP Online Main Event. That score could be surpassed, but it won’t be easy, as few tournaments currently have a bigger prize pool than the Brazilian.
