Figure as of: 2026-10-23Career
Felipe Ramos grew up in the Greater ABC region and found some of his earliest work in music. In a 2016 PokerNews interview, he said he performed on the cello as a teenager. Before pursuing poker, he worked in the corporate world. Games with coworkers opened up a new career possibility.

His move onto the circuit gained momentum after a BSOP victory in 2007 and a sponsorship opportunity documented by PokerNews. In 2009, sixth place in the US$5,000 WSOP Pot-Limit Omaha event helped associate his name with the game. His articles on different variants also brought that knowledge to Brazilian readers.
The Mojave nickname spread beyond the tables. Ramos appeared on television and joined PokerStars in a move announced in 2015. His relationship with Neymar, whom he taught poker according to PokerNews, introduced him to an audience less familiar with the game. These ties are historical and do not establish any current sponsorship.
The latest results in this selection show the breadth of his career. In December 2025, he finished second in the WSOP Paradise 8-Game and 23rd in the Super Main Event, two live tournaments in different formats. In May 2026, he announced he would skip that year's Las Vegas series, citing family priorities, according to SuperPoker's coverage of his social media post.

About this profile’s data
PokerNews displayed US$4,652,769 in live earnings when accessed on October 23, 2026. The biography on the same page retains an older figure of US$2.6 million. The dated figure from the panel is used here. The source does not state when the underlying database was updated.
US$401,460 was described as his live record in 2023, but coverage from December 2025 confirms US$415,000 in the Super Main Event. The US$476,612 online result remains separate.
The May 2026 retrospective uses event start dates in its table. This profile uses month-level dates when the exact day the event ended could not be confirmed. The 2010 Circuit title has no listed amount because the report converts a rand-denominated prize to dollars.
- A fully documented online career total is not confirmed.
Dates with only a year or month reflect the source’s precision. The editorial review date shows when the text was checked. Sources have their own access and publication dates.
