Beth Silva
Brazil’s Representative
Beth Silva is a two-time BSOP Ladies Event champion and a beloved figure in the Brazilian poker community. What began as a curiosity while accompanying her son to tournaments soon became her own passion and journey, leading to remarkable victories and a lasting impact on the presence of women in poker.
Her breakthrough came with back-to-back triumphs in the prestigious Ladies Events at BSOP São Paulo (2016) and BSOP Recife (2017). These achievements established Beth as a symbol of resilience and dedication, showing that it is never too late to embrace poker not only as a competition but as a celebration of community and personal growth.
Beyond the trophies, Beth has consistently emphasized the joy of live poker — the people, the atmosphere, the unique energy of the tables. Her authenticity and charisma have made her a role model for women players across Brazil. As a leader in rankings such as the Ladies Bodog, and an active participant in events like the Nordeste Poker Series, she continues to prove that women can thrive, inspire, and redefine the narrative of poker.
Today, Beth uses her platform to encourage more women to join the game, sharing her belief that poker is not just about winning titles but also about building connections, confidence, and courage.
