In 2015, he also won the Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) Main Event for $175,155.
But Yuri's biggest cash came at the 2022 WSOP, when he achieved a historic result by reaching heads-up in the most iconic tournament of the World Series, the $50,000 Poker Player Championship. For the runner-up, he took $895,614. Yuri is also the highest buy-in Brazilian player to play in a poker tournament.

Famous quotes
Winning is the ability to bet on yourself. The best investment you can make is always in yourself.
Poker is a wonderful profession when you put in hours and hours a day. If you don't, you'll be just another frustrated person who thinks, 'why does he arrive and I don't?'
Once you understand the dynamics of the game, you know that losing chips is part of poker, so there's no point in getting frustrated when you lose a pot. It will only get in the way.
