Seat 6: Neville Costa, 30, Brazil – 10,550,000
Brazilian player Neville Costa lives in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina. From home games through poker clubs, he made the steps to turn pro several years ago.
Costa has amassed around $60,000 in reported live cashes, with the best deep run dating back to the 2014 WSOP Monsterstack event (47th for $26,534).
At PokerStars, Costa uses the moniker "NevilleWeeee“. He has already banked a six-figure prize in the online arena. He finished sixth in the 2020 WSOP Online Millionaire Maker for $288,356.
With his first EPT Main Event cash, Costa is guaranteed to best that online result. He (or Kovalski) can become the second Brazilian champion, following Marcelo Mesqueu‘s title at the tour‘s previous stop in Monte Carlo.
