Guilherme Silva Pitta

Guilherme Silva Pitta, often known as Gui Pitta, emerged as a prominent figure in the Brazilian poker scene through online play and streaming. He began his poker journey on PokerStars, which he credits as the first platform he used to learn the game. Over time, he transitioned from recreational play to a professional career, driven by his desire to represent PokerStars as an ambassador. His dedication to studying and improving his game earned him a spot among Brazil's top tournament players.

Pitta became one of the newest ambassadors for PokerStars, a role he described as a dream come true. In an interview, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to travel the BSOP circuit and compete in EPT events under the PokerStars banner. He also joined the Samba Team in late 2024, a strategic move to lower his buy-ins and receive coaching from experienced players like Pitão, Rochinha, Jessé, and Kelvin. This partnership aims to help him reach the highest levels of international poker.

Pitta's tournament results are concentrated in the BSOP (Brazilian Series of Poker) events. Notable cashes include:

• BSOP Gramado 2025: Won the 6-Max PKO tournament for R$30,750 (including bounties).
• BSOP Millions 2024: Finished 22nd in the R$25,000 Millions Championship (Event #27) for R$84,210, with a field of 503 entries. During Day 2, he was involved in a key hand where he doubled up with A♠K♦ against Pedro Gusmão's A♥9♦ on an A♣K♣4♦4♥7♥ board.
• Various BSOP Main Events: Cashes in BSOP São Paulo Main Events in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with earnings ranging from R$4,970 to R$18,100.

His online results show limited data, but he has recorded live cashes totaling over R$130,000 according to available records.

From the hand described in the BSOP Millions, Pitta displays an aggressive, pressure-oriented style. He check-raised on the flop with top two pair and then moved all-in on the turn, forcing his opponent into a tough call. This approach, combined with his willingness to run deep, has made him a dangerous opponent in Brazilian tournaments.

Pitta is well-known for his close friendship with Brazilian football star Neymar. He has stated that Neymar loves poker and is confident that when Neymar retires from football, he will become a regular on the BSOP circuit. Pitta also enjoys light-hearted banter at the tables, naming Léo Rizzo and Rafa Moraes as players he wants to face, while preferring to avoid the red-hot Carneirinho.

Pitta has set his sights on winning major titles and competing in the largest tournaments worldwide. With the backing of PokerStars and the Samba Team, he continues to study and refine his game, aiming to become a consistent force in both Brazilian and global poker.
