Career
Marcos Neves is known in the community as Sketch. His work in Brazilian poker extends beyond playing individually. In October 2011, the CBTH announced him as coach of the national team for the IFP Nations Cup. The competition used Duplicate Poker, a team format that differs from a conventional tournament.

Online play is also part of his documented career. In March 2011, he appeared as Marcos Sketch1967 Neves in coverage of the PokerStars Sunday 2nd Chance. His seventh-place finish is a specific historical result and does not establish a total across his accounts.
Away from the tables, Sketch became a partner in 4Bet Poker Team. In a 2025 interview, he said he played for enjoyment and did not depend on his results financially. The interview describes his situation at the time.
In August 2026, PokerNews reported his High Roller Championship win at KSOP Fortaleza for R$155,000. It is a recent live result in a career that also includes longstanding involvement in the poker community.
