Gabrielle Costa de Souza

Gabrielle Costa de Souza began appearing in live tournament results in 2015, with her first recorded cash in the BSOP Main Event in São Paulo, where she placed 88th for R$7,100. Over the next decade, she consistently competed in major Brazilian series like BSOP and WSOP Circuit events.

In September 2017, Costa de Souza cashed twice at the WSOP Circuit in Bienal Pavilion, São Paulo: 17th in Event #21: R$1,200 No-Limit Hold'em Extra Life (R$3,400) and 45th in Event #13: R$3,300 Main Event (R$10,000). These two cashes contributed to her total WSOP earnings of $2,680.

Her biggest recorded score came in December 2018, when she finished 27th in the BSOP Main Event at Holiday Inn Parque Anhembi, winning R$39,630. She continued to perform well in BSOP events through 2025, including a 36th-place finish in March 2024 (R$10,820) and a 165th-place finish in November 2025 (R$10,950).

Costa de Souza won the KSOP Circuit Amazônia Ladies Event in Manaus, earning R$1,750 after a heads-up deal. The tournament had a R$250 buy-in and attracted a strong local field. After a strategic re-entry when short-stacked, she went on to claim the trophy, saying, "I am very happy to represent our state. Playing at home is great." She also praised the event for giving local players the opportunity to compete without traveling.

While specific details of her playing style are not widely documented, her consistent deep runs in large-field events (e.g., 36th out of 1,278 in BSOP 2024) suggest a patient and adaptive approach. Her decision to re-enter the Ladies Event after being short-stacked shows strategic awareness and willingness to adjust her tournament plan.

With seven total WSOP-related cashes and a combined $21,392 in WSOP/BSOP earnings (plus $2,680 from WSOP Circuit), Costa de Souza has established herself as a competitive figure in Brazilian poker. Her KSOP title highlights her ability to succeed in women's events, and she continues to be active on the South American circuit.
