Pedro Padilha is one of Brazil’s leading poker players, with a highly successful career spanning both the online and live arenas. He first emerged on the scene as a member of the Akkari Team, led by André Akkari, and steadily climbed the ranks for over a decade, cementing his reputation as a standout name in the game.
According to The Hendon Mob, Padilha has accumulated over $3.1 million in live tournament earnings, making him the eighth all-time money leader from Brazil. His largest cash came at the 2025 EPT Monte Carlo, where he took down the €25,000 High Roller for more than $1.3 million.
Padilha came agonizingly close to capturing his first WSOP bracelet in 2021, finishing runner-up in Event #37 ($1,500 NLH Super Turbo Bounty). Two years earlier, he narrowly missed the final table of the $25,000 PokerStars Players Championship, finishing on the final table bubble for $328,500 — his second-largest live score.
Online, where he is widely recognized under the screen name "PaDiLhA SP", the Brazilian star boasts an impressive resume filled with major accomplishments. His accolades include titles in premier series such as SCOOP and WCOOP, a victory in the $5,200 Titans Event, and a final table appearance in the prestigious 10,300 GGMillion$ High Rollers.
