Elvis Renan 'Catholão': The King of Brazilian Poker


Elvis Renan, known as 'Catholão,' is a prominent figure in Brazilian poker. He started playing poker in late 2012 or early 2013. Elvis Renan has over 15,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares his poker journey and engages with his audience. He was the Champion of the Paraense Poker in 2019 and has been representing the State of Pará in the Brazilian Team Championship since 2017.

Elvis Renan's biggest win was $62,466 from the Half Price Bounty High Roller on PokerStars in April 2022. His first major tournament win was a 200k event at the Norte Poker Tour in Imperatriz, Maranhão.

Elvis Renan won the High Roller of KSOP-RJ in February 2023, which was his most recent major achievement. This victory was emotionally significant for him, as it marked a culmination of his hard work and dedication to the game.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
