WSOP 2026 is still in its early stages. Even so, the so-called Poker World Cup has already placed the green and yellow flag at the top of a tournament podium. Brazilian Bianka Abade won the US$ 250 Daily Deepstack, a daily tournament in the series where champions do not receive the glory of the world champion bracelet.

However, these contests greatly help increase the “bankroll.” To give you an idea, Bianka dispatched a field of 311 entries and secured a reward of US$ 12,507. In addition, she faced a final table full of North American players and defeated Samuel White in the heads-up. The opponent received US$ 8,589 for second place.
But Bianka did not represent Brazil alone in the prize zone of this contest. André Carvalho also finished the journey within the reward zone. The Brazilian finished in 41st place and secured US$ 506.
Thus, these tournaments happen every day at the WSOP, at three different times and with entries between US$ 200 and US$ 400. Also, those venturing for the first time in Las Vegas find a great opportunity to face foreign opponents and earn good money.

The Brazilian player lives in Las Vegas and produces content about poker and travel on social media. In fact, the photos she posts show some shots alongside the legendary Phil Ivey, a player Bianka calls an idol. Additionally, she shares many videos of hands played in “cash-game” sessions and tournaments in the United States.
However, Bianka’s profile on “The Hendon Mob” shows earnings of US$ 5,280 in live circuit events. In other words, just with this win in the WSOP Daily she has already earned more than double all previous results. Before this victory, her biggest career payout had been US$ 2,920 at the WPT World Championship in December.
Finally, it is worth noting that just over three months ago, the player competed in another WPT stage in Cambodia. On that occasion, Bianka finished fourth in the US$ 250 NLH Early Bird Megastack and received US$ 1,053. Now, she opens the path for Brazilian wins at this WSOP, while fans hope for many more titles in the coming weeks.
