From Perth, Australia, Bruno de Paiva is a qualified journalist who has worked in both media and non-media roles.

After discovering poker some six years ago it fired a passion in him - but his focus shifted more towards writing about the game than to actually playing it. Of course, he enjoys playing in an occasional friendly game of poker as well.
