In 2007, Brasa reached the final table of a $1,500 WSOP No-Limit Hold’em event and finished fourth. A 2009 PokerNews retrospective describes it as Brazil’s first final table at the series and also covers his online play on Full Tilt.
He also contributed to poker education. In 2014, the Brazilian Online Poker Congress introduced him as a player and businessman for a talk about alternatives to Texas Hold’em. The announcement linked him to the BSOP and Betmotion Team Pro at the time.
The most recent events visible on the PokerNews page show a career beyond Hold’em. He cashed in Big O and Omaha Hi-Lo in 2025 and recorded another WSOP Omaha Hi-Lo result in 2026. The table is a selection from the available coverage.
