João Vieira: Four-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner and Triton Champion
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
João Vieira has built one of the strongest tournament résumés in Portuguese poker history, combining elite online results with four World Series of Poker bracelets and success in some of the highest-buy-in live events in the world.
Known online as “Naza114,” Vieira developed his reputation through high-volume tournament poker before becoming a regular on the international high-roller circuit. His live career reached another level in 2025, when he won a $150,000 Triton Poker event in Jeju for $4.61 million and later captured his fourth WSOP bracelet in the $100,000 High Roller in Las Vegas.
As of August 31, 2026, The Hendon Mob lists Vieira with $21,825,331 in live tournament earnings, the most of any Portuguese player in its database. His record also includes one WSOP Circuit ring, major European high-roller victories and a long history of success across multiple online poker formats.
⠀
Who Is João Vieira?
João Filipe Martins Vieira is a Portuguese professional poker player from Funchal on the island of Madeira. He is widely known in online poker by the screen name “Naza114.”
Before establishing himself as a poker professional, Vieira competed in basketball in Portugal. PokerNews has reported that he began playing professionally for CAB Madeira at a young age and was introduced to poker through teammates while traveling for basketball.
Poker gradually became his primary competitive focus. Vieira first established himself through online tournaments, where his combination of volume, versatility and results made Naza114 a familiar name in major series.
That online background eventually translated into a major live career. Vieira became a regular at the World Series of Poker, European Poker Tour festivals, Triton Poker events and other high-stakes tournament series around the world.
⠀
João Vieira’s Online Poker Career
Vieira’s online résumé is an important part of understanding his career. He was already regarded as an elite online tournament player before his biggest live scores arrived.
PokerStars records show that Vieira had reached 13 career World Championship of Online Poker titles by September 2024. He won three WCOOP events during the 2024 series alone, with his 13th title coming in a $5,200 six-max turbo high roller.
His WCOOP victories have not been limited to one form of poker. Vieira has won across no-limit hold’em and other disciplines, reflecting the same versatility that later became visible in his WSOP results.
He has also accumulated multiple Spring Championship of Online Poker titles and has remained a fixture in high-stakes online competition.
That range is an important part of Vieira’s poker reputation. He is not simply a no-limit hold’em high roller. His tournament history includes Omaha, draw games and mixed-game formats, both online and at the WSOP.
⠀
João Vieira’s WSOP Bracelet Career
Vieira is a four-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner.
First Bracelet — 2019 $5,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em
Vieira won his first WSOP bracelet during the 2019 World Series of Poker.
He defeated a field of 815 entries in the $5,000 six-handed no-limit hold’em event, earning $758,011. The victory gave Vieira his first piece of WSOP bracelet hardware after he had already established himself as a prominent online tournament player.
The win represented an important crossover point in his career, confirming that his online success could translate to one of live poker’s most competitive tournament series.
Second Bracelet — 2022 $50,000 High Roller
Vieira added his second bracelet in 2022 by winning the $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller.
He earned $1,384,413 for the victory, which was then the largest live tournament cash of his career.
The title also showed Vieira’s progression into the upper levels of the live high-roller circuit. Winning a $50,000 WSOP event required overcoming a field built largely from established professionals and high-stakes tournament regulars.
Third Bracelet — 2023 Online $25,000 GGMillion$ Super High Rollers Championship
Vieira’s third bracelet came online in 2023 when he won the $25,000 GGMillion$ Super High Rollers Championship during the international WSOP Online series on GGPoker.
The victory added another high-stakes title to a career already strongly associated with online poker.
It also gave Vieira a third bracelet across three different WSOP years: 2019, 2022 and 2023.
Fourth Bracelet — 2025 $100,000 High Roller
Vieira won his fourth WSOP bracelet in June 2025 in Event #38, the $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller.
The tournament attracted 103 entries and generated a $9,939,500 prize pool. Vieira defeated Aram Oganyan heads-up and collected $2,649,158.
The win was the second-largest live cash of Vieira’s career at the time and came only a few months after his record-setting Triton Poker victory in Jeju.
His four bracelets have therefore come in a $5,000 six-max event, two major live high rollers and an online super high roller, illustrating the range of environments in which he has succeeded.
⠀
Triton Poker Breakthrough and Vieira’s Largest Cash
Vieira recorded the largest live tournament score of his career at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Jeju, South Korea, in March 2025.
He won the $150,000 No-Limit Hold’em eight-handed event for $4,610,000.
The tournament drew 128 entries and created a $19.2 million prize pool. Vieira defeated Aleksejs Ponakovs heads-up, while a final field of paid finishers included several established high-stakes professionals.
The victory was particularly significant because Vieira had finished second in the $100,000 Triton Main Event during WSOP Paradise in December 2024. That runner-up result had paid $2.59 million.
Only a few months later, he converted another major Triton final table into a championship and a new career-best payday.

⠀
João Vieira’s Live Tournament Earnings
As of August 31, 2026, The Hendon Mob lists João Vieira with $21,825,331 in live tournament earnings.
Tournament earnings databases can use different inclusion standards, particularly when online events played under verified real names are involved. The Hendon Mob figure is used here specifically as the benchmark for Vieira’s live tournament record.
His largest Hendon Mob-listed cash is the $4.61 million he earned for winning the 2025 Triton Jeju $150,000 event.
Other major scores include the $2,649,158 first prize from his 2025 WSOP $100,000 High Roller victory and $2.59 million for finishing second in the 2024 WSOP Paradise Triton Main Event.
Those results helped move Vieira beyond $20 million in recorded live earnings and strengthened his position at the top of Portugal’s all-time live tournament money list.
⠀
Playing Style and Poker Reputation
Vieira’s career is defined more clearly by versatility than by a single narrow playing-style label.
His results span six-handed no-limit hold’em, traditional high rollers, Pot-Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, razz, 2-7 draw and mixed-game competition. He has also produced major results in both live and online poker.
That breadth matters because success in different forms of poker requires players to adjust to different hand values, betting structures and strategic environments.
Vieira’s tournament history also reflects an unusually high level of volume. His online career was built around regular participation in major tournament series, while his live schedule has expanded to include the WSOP, Triton Poker and high-stakes events at major European festivals.
Rather than relying on a subjective label such as aggressive or mathematical, Vieira’s documented results establish him as a multi-format tournament specialist capable of competing at elite buy-in levels.
⠀
João Vieira’s 2025 Career Year
The 2025 season stands out as one of the most important periods of Vieira’s live career.
In March, he won the $150,000 Triton Jeju event for $4.61 million, his largest live score.
In June, he followed that victory by winning the $100,000 WSOP High Roller for $2,649,158 and his fourth bracelet.
Vieira continued producing results after the bracelet victory. He finished fourth in the 2025 WSOP $10,000 Razz Championship for $101,983 and fifth in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for $298,614.
The combination of a Triton title, a fourth bracelet and deep runs in championship-level mixed games reinforced the breadth of his tournament résumé.
⠀
João Vieira in 2026
Vieira remained active in major live tournaments during 2026.
At the European Poker Tour stop in Monte Carlo in May, he finished fifth in a €50,000 No-Limit Hold’em event for €189,600 and also cashed the EPT Main Event and €25,000 High Roller.
He then recorded multiple cashes at the 2026 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
Among those results were a 32nd-place finish in the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for $50,000, a 22nd-place finish in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Championship for $29,019 and additional cashes in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo and $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw championships.
Those results show that Vieira continued competing across both no-limit hold’em and mixed or non-hold’em formats rather than narrowing his schedule exclusively to high-roller hold’em events.
⠀
Why João Vieira Matters in Poker
Vieira’s significance comes from the combination of his online and live accomplishments.
Many players build their reputations primarily in one environment. Vieira became an elite online tournament player before compiling a live résumé that includes four WSOP bracelets, a Triton title and more than $21 million in recorded live earnings.
He has also become the leading Portuguese player by Hendon Mob-listed live earnings, giving him a prominent place in the development of Portugal’s international poker presence.
His success across different variants adds another dimension. Vieira has reached major WSOP final tables in mixed games while also winning six-handed hold’em events and some of the largest no-limit hold’em high rollers on the schedule.
That combination of online longevity, live high-roller success and multi-format results makes Vieira one of the most accomplished Portuguese tournament players of his era.
