Editorial review:
Career
Caio César Pimenta made his name on PokerStars as caio_pimenta. His 2009 Sunday Million win came in an edition with over nine thousand entries.
Want to understand the betting rounds and hands featured in this career? You can try a free poker table, against bots and with play chips, without betting real money.
By 2010, PokerNews was identifying him as a Full Tilt Red Pro. His third-place finish in the FTOPS XVIII rebuy event is one result from that period.
On the live circuit, coverage of the 2011 PCA records a 60th-place finish in the Main Event. In the same year, Pimenta was named to the Brazilian team for the IFP Nations Cup.
Later coverage records a win in the US$162 Bounty Builder and a podium finish in the 2025 Bounty Builder Series, both on PokerStars. The records cover those dates and do not establish continuous play between them.
