Renan Carlos Bruschi is no stranger to crushing online tournaments across all stakes.
According to his PocketFives online profile, Bruschi 🗝 has earned over 7,000 lifetime
cashes for a total of just underR$7 million in online tournament earnings. The
Brazilian added 🗝 another big cash to his resume on Friday night with a victory in the
GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Event #14: 🗝 The Big 500, earning himself the tournament’s
top prize ofR$150,327 and his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
TheR$500
buy-in 🗝 event drew in 2,639 entries to generate a prize pool ofR$1,253,525. The massive
Day 1 field played down to just 🗝 35 players left for Day 2. Bruschi entered the final
table second in chips with just under 10 million less 🗝 than fellow Brazilian Rafael
“riskgambler” Furlanetto. But in the end it was Bruschi who came out on top after
defeating 🗝 Leonid “Mikleler” Bilokur heads up.
Thanks to GGPoker’s SnapCam, opposing
players and viewers on the rail got a glimpse into how 🗝 much fun Renan Bruschi was
having along the way. The eventual winner posted videos throughout the final table of
himself 🗝 eating, singing, and celebrating.
Bruschi had every reason to be calm and
relaxed despite the stakes. The internet pro is no 🗝 stranger to big final tables; this
was the eighth six-figure online score of Bruschi’s career. The Brazilian won aR$215
Sunday 🗝 Million on PokerStars in 2024 forR$582,500 under his internet handle
“Internett93o” and more recently wonR$504,583 in the WPT #07 Mini 🗝 Main Event on
PartyPoker last September.

In last year’s GGPoker WSOP online bracelet series, Bruschi cashed 11
times forR$58,843. Friday’s cash was Bruschi’s fifth of 🗝 the 2024 online series thus
far. He came close to earning his first WSOP bracelet with a runner-up finish that
🗝 earned himR$66,669 in theR$2,500 Limit Hold’em Championship on August 3.
Brazilian
players continue their dominance in GGPoker bracelet events
Four of the 🗝 first 11 events
in the 2024 GGPoker WSOP online series were won by Brazilian players. That could have
easily been 🗝 five out of the first 12 events as Felipe Mojave came up just shy of the
victory with his runner-up 🗝 finish in Event #12. Brazilian poker fans didn’t have to
wait long for another bracelet however as Renan Bruschi picked 🗝 up this win just two
events later.

In addition to
having some of the 🗝 best poker players in the world, Brazil also has some of the most
passionate poker fans. Brazilian poker fans have 🗝 created some of the loudest and most
exciting rails at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino over the years. The 🗝 country was hit
hard by COVID-19 vaccine delays earlier this year that could unfortunately make it
difficult for many Brazilians 🗝 to travel to this year’s live WSOP event. But regardless
of how attendance pans out this fall, Brazil’s poker fans 🗝 have had plenty to cheer
about during this online series.
