Igor Gomes Pereira Souto

Igor Gomes Pereira Souto emerged in the Brazilian poker scene with a focus on online and live tournaments. He is occasionally referred to as a "regular" by Brazilian poker media, indicating consistent participation in the local circuit.

In September 2019, Souto cashed in three events at the WSOP Circuit Belmond Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro:

• Event #1: $800 Brazilian Storm – 65th place out of 1,247 entries, earning R$2,250.
• Event #7: $1,000 Monster Stack – 37th place out of 982 entries, earning R$3,750.
• Event #10: $2,000 6-Max – 25th place out of 218 entries, earning R$3,200.

These results contributed to his WSOP.com profile showing 3 cashes and total earnings of $1,840.

Souto also made a notable deep run in the PokerStars Half Sunday Million, a special edition with a reduced buy-in that attracted 33,317 entries. Under the screen name "I-Souto82", he reached the final 60 players and was eliminated in 59th place, earning $2,023. According to a report by Mundo Poker, he held two pair on the flop but lost to a flush draw on the river, a hand that would have made him the chip leader.

Limited hand history is available, but the Half Sunday Million hand suggests an aggressive style: Souto made a 3-bet with KQo from middle position and called a preflop raise, then c-bet the flop and instantly called a large all-in with top two pair. This willingness to risk his tournament life indicates confidence in his reads and hand strength, characteristic of many Brazilian grinders.

While Igor Gomes Pereira Souto has not yet won a major title or bracelet, his consistent cashes in both live WSOP Circuit events and large online fields demonstrate skill and resilience. He represents the many Brazilian players who build their careers through volume and discipline, eventually aiming for bigger accolades.
