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.
