Renan Bruschi

Renan Carlos Bruschi was born in Gaurama, Brazil, and initially pursued a degree in dentistry. During a college vacation, a friend introduced him to online poker, and he quickly became hooked. While still studying, Bruschi began earning a substantial income from poker and made the decision to turn professional before finishing his degree. For over 12 years, he has built a reputation as one of Brazil's most versatile and accomplished players.

Bruschi's most prestigious live title came in 2021 when he won a WSOP bracelet in Event #14: The Big 500 ($500 buy-in) during the GGPoker WSOP Online series. He topped a field of 2,639 players to claim $150,327, defeating Leonid "Mikleler" Bilokur heads-up. In live tournaments, his career-best cash is $312,263, and his total live earnings exceed $2.9 million, ranking him 18th on the Brazil all-time money list. He has also cashed deep in several 2026 WSOP events, including a 4th place in Event #71: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet Event for $53,889 and a 3rd place in the $100,000 Super High Roller Main Event at the 2025 BSOP Super High Roller Series for $540,000.

Under the screen name "Internett93o", Bruschi is a force on major platforms. He won the WPT World Online Championships Mini Main Event on PartyPoker for $504,583 and is a two-time Sunday Million champion on PokerStars. His trophy case includes 13 COOP titles: four SCOOP wins in 2025 alone (e.g., SCOOP 17-H: $1,050 PLO for $26,752) and multiple WCOOP victories. In 2023, he captured the World Championship of Progressive KO NLHE for $198,665. By winning six events in SCOOP 2026, he became the Brazilian player with the most wins in the series' history (12 total).

Bruschi is known for his deep understanding of mixed games. He studies with coach Tobias Leknes and participates in a private Discord group focused on hand discussions and opponent notes. His favorite variants are Draw Games, while he openly dislikes Omaha Hi-Lo. He believes that to be a complete top-tier player, one must master multiple disciplines beyond No-Limit Hold'em, citing Yuri Martins as a national and international reference. Bruschi's approach combines rigorous study with practical experience, allowing him to adapt to both online high-volume series and live high-roller events.

Bruschi maintains an annual schedule that includes online series such as SCOOP, WCOOP, and GGPoker events, alongside a full live WSOP campaign in Las Vegas. He also plans to attend the Triton Poker Series in Montenegro or Jeju, as well as EPT Barcelona. With a solid foundation and continuous improvement, he aims to further cement his legacy as one of Brazil's poker greats.
