Frederico Nizzato Da Silva Oliveira

Frederico Nizzato Da Silva Oliveira is a Brazilian poker player who works as a physicist by trade. Prior to his recent breakout, he had only two recorded live cashes from nearly a decade ago, but he has been more accomplished online.

In September 2025, Nizzato won Event 84-H of the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) on PokerStars: a $320 NLHE Bounty Builder High Roller. The tournament attracted 872 entrants and generated a $275,000 prize pool. Nizzato, playing under the screen name "fred_high," took home $40,723, including $19,693 in bounties. The final table was an all-Brazilian affair, with Matheus Machado finishing runner-up and João Pedro Cintra placing third.

In November 2025, Nizzato entered the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) R$30,000 ($6,000) Championship at the WTC Sheraton in São Paulo. On Day 1d, the final starting flight with 278 players, he bagged the chip lead with 920,000 chips (153 big blinds), outpacing notable pros such as Dante Goya and Daria Krashennikova. The tournament set a Latin American record with a R$20,000,000 ($4,000,000) guarantee and 714 total entries. Nizzato advanced to Day 2 among 246 survivors, with the final results pending.

Known as an aggressive and creative player, Nizzato combines his analytical background from physics with a fearless online approach. His WCOOP victory and deep run in a major live event highlight the growing strength of Brazilian poker on both the virtual and felt stages.
