In the summer of 2017, Brazil's Vivian \"Vivi\" Saliba gained significant recognition, leading to her joining the 888poker team. At just 24, she made history as the youngest woman to compete in the prestigious World Series of Poker Main Event.
Vivi discovered poker at the tender age of 12 during a family vacation. Six years later, her father introduced her to a local Brazilian card club, where she was drawn to the game's engaging social interactions. A further five years on, Saliba embraced her professional career, specializing in pot-limit Omaha, her preferred variation of the game.
In the 2019 World Series of Poker Crazy Eights event, Saliba achieved an impressive fourth place, earning a career-best prize of $308,888.
