Victor Lucas Souza Pereira

Victor Lucas Souza Pereira began making a name for himself in the online poker scene, playing on online poker under the screen name "ElBruxo." He achieved significant success during the GG Spring Festival, winning two titles and establishing himself as a formidable force in the online tournament world. These early victories laid the foundation for his transition to live events.

In December 2021, Victor Lucas captured his first major live trophy at the BSOP Millions series in Brazil. He won the Last Chance Deepstack Turbo event, a R$600 buy-in tournament that attracted 312 entries. Battling through a short-stacked final table with just 15 big blinds, he emerged victorious to claim the R$29,650 top prize. After the win, he credited his team, saying, "Midas is everything to me; everything I know and have won, I owe a lot to them."

Victor Lucas has a steady track record in WSOP Online events, with 28 cashes totaling over $27,000 between 2021 and 2025. His best finish came in a 2023 C$800 Superstack Turbo Bounty NLH Championship, where he placed 46th for $4,333. He also recorded a 20th-place finish in a $300 Deepstack NLH Championship in 2026, earning $5,167. His consistent cashes across a wide range of buy-ins (from $50 to $800) reflect his adaptability and resilience in large online fields.

Victor Lucas is known for his thoughtful, analytical approach to the game. A notable hand from the KSOP Special Main Event in Balneário Camboriú illustrates his skill. Defending his big blind with Q7o, he flopped trip queens and carefully built the pot by check-raising and then betting small on the turn to keep his opponent's weaker hands in. When the river gave him quads, he checked to induce a bluff, extracting maximum value. He later explained his thought process, emphasizing the importance of representing draws and thinking about opponent ranges.

As a member of the Midas Poker Team, Victor Lucas has been an active participant in the Brazilian poker community. He often rails friends during major events and is regarded as a regular who combines online expertise with live success.
