Hi, I'm Anthony, a complete competition junkie and winning maniac. I had contact with poker since I was 5 years old, at the time we played closed poker (5 Cards draw), but over time Texas hold'em was creating a huge popularity and I became more and more interested. When I was 12 I started reading different books about the study of the game, and I was creating an overwhelming passion that grew bigger and bigger, saying that when I grew up I would become the best in the world, but obviously, they didn't take me seriously.
At 18 I started taking real poker courses, playing in some clubs, and without even realizing it, I was already living off it, I simply won all the tournaments they had in my city, next to the main ranking, this only in the first year in which I started in clubs. Again he insisted that he wanted to be the best in the world, but who would take an 18 year old boy seriously about it right?! ? After winning all the tournaments in my city, I started playing in nearby cities and winning the main events they had there, but everything changed, when at 19 years old I finally started playing regularly in São Paulo, 3 months after starting , I won the biggest tournament there, the CPH Main Event. After that it seems that everything started to happen, in the same year I won some of the most expensive tournaments in Brazil, such as the BSOP High Roller and Master Minds, among other tournaments.
From then on, my dream was no longer just a dream, it was also my big goal, and people finally began to believe. At the end of that same year, I started to study other disciplines in the middle of poker, thinking that this could open my doors in the future, and take it a step further. The following year, then came one of my biggest achievements so far, winning the so-called “8-game” of the BSOP, where they mix 8 different poker modes, the results in other modes were starting to show. However, at this same stage of the BSOP, I was fortunate to win not only the 8-Game, but also the Main event, which was one of my childhood dreams.
Poker seems to make your dreams come true when you really dedicate yourself, that's exactly what I want to show our community in reality. I want you to lose that old prejudice and see how magical this sport is. I'm sure Big Player Brazil came to make this revolution. So, I'm counting on everyone who loves this sport too, to spread the word and share the reality as much as possible, so that together, we can show everyone what real poker is! See you there, big hug!
