Biography & Poker Background

Da-Silva is from Dagenham, Essex and has been one of the most active players on the UK tournament circuit for well over a decade. His 206 career cashes represent extraordinary consistency and volume — placing him among the UK’s most prolific live tournament competitors by sheer frequency of results.

The 888poker LIVE Coventry victory in October 2024 was his first six-figure live score and his first major title, arriving after several previous deep runs in similar events that had fallen just short. He was around the chip lead for much of the final day, eventually defeating Mindaugas Kurlenskas heads-up to claim £125,000 from a £617,120 prize pool. “The money is just a number,” he told PokerNews afterwards. “It feels really good to get one over the line.”

He continues to cash regularly across UK domestic events and at international stops, with his most recent Hendon Mob result in December 2025.

Play Style & Strategy

Da-Silva is a high-volume, patient tournament player whose longevity on the circuit reflects strong fundamentals and consistent bankroll management. His ability to sustain chip-lead pressure across a full final day — demonstrated at Coventry — speaks to a composure built through years of deep run experience.
