Alex Gomes wins WPT Bellagio Cup

Monday, July 20th, 2009

teampro-thumb.JPGThe World Series of Poker can be discouraging. You can play all month long and barely have anything to show for it. Look at Team PokerStars Pro Alex Gomes. The best win he came away with in the 2009 Series was a $5,300 cash for an 80th place finish in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event. Not exactly what he was hoping for. Thank goodness he made the decision to go down the street to Bellagio.

A few days ago, while the rest of us were putting the WSOP to bed, Gomes was working his way through the field of 268 players in the $15,000 buy-in event. Last night, he went into the final table of the tournament in last chip position. Just a couple of hours ago, the Team PokerStars Pro from Brazil walked away with his first WPT title and the $1,187,670 first prize.

Gomes, the smiling man from South America, exploded onto the poker scene in 2008 when he won his first WSOP bracelet. Just a few months later, he nearly grabbed his first EPT title when he took fourth place at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.

Now, Gomes has erased any doubt he can close. His win on the WPT gives him a chance to be one of the few people in the world who can claim poker's triple crown--a win on the WSOP, WPT, and EPT circuits. Now we just have to work on getting Gomes over to Europe and see if he can get it done.

Congratulations to Alex Gomes for this morning's big win!


Brazil’s Alexandre Gomes joins Team PokerStars Pro

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

by Maria Mayrinck

Alexandre Gomes, a 25-year-old lawyer from Curitiba, Brazil, has been leaving behind his profession in law and slowly but surely gravitating toward poker. Always logged on PokerStars as "Allingomes", Alexandre is no stranger to final tables, having reached many in the 100+Rebuys, 50+Rebuys, 1K Super Tuesdays, and won the Wednesday Nightly Hundred and Fifty Grand for more 65K.

But Alexandre wanted more!

He started chasing after the live circuit - in Brazil and internationally - and this year, at the WSOP, in the very first event he played, Alexandre became the first ever Brazilian to win a bracelet. He took down Event #48, the $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a field of 2,317 people, winning a prize of $770,540, the bracelet and all the recognition that comes along with such an extraordinary accomplishment.

PokerStars does not let such talent go unnoticed. Today, PokerStars introduced Alexandre Gomes - or Alê, as his friends call him - as the newest member of Team PokerStars Pro. This new bracelet winner can now count among his peers such world champions as Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker, Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein, Gavin Griffin, his fellow Brazilian André Akkari, and many more. With a colorful, creative, cheerful and aggressive style of play, Brazilian poker is really taking shape and making noise on the international poker circuit.

Christian Toth, PokerStars' top dog in Brazil said, "Alexandre joins Team PokerStars Pro not only for his recent title and achievement in the World Series, but also because he embodies all the characteristics that PokerStars looks for in its players. Alexandre has integrity, discipline, charisma, and great energy."

Alexandre said, "Ever since I started playing poker, I have literally dreamed of being a part of Team PokerStars Pro and winning a WSOP title and bracelet. Making these two dreams come true at once is more then a dream. Am I awake? Someone pinch me please!"

Welcome to Team PokerStars Pro, Alexandre. May this be the start of a brilliant future.
