About

Breno Bertalia, known online as “BLEFE GOD,” is a Brazilian online tournament specialist and GTO LAB coach with a track record of dominant deep runs in some of online poker’s biggest events. He is best known for winning the WCOOP Main Event Medium on PokerStars — a $1,050 buy-in event with 4,342 entries — for $619,300, one of the largest online scores in Brazilian poker history.

Bertalia’s game is built on chip accumulation, ICM awareness at large-field final tables, and reading when to apply pressure and when to protect a big stack. His coaching at GTO LAB covers deepstack tournament play and online session reviews from high-volume grinding. His teaching topics include:

• Navigating deep tournament spots — early-session deepstack dynamics in large-field online events, covering stack management, preflop range construction at deep SPRs, and identifying the key spots that separate a deep run from an early exit
• Preflop math simplified — practical shortcuts for calculating preflop EV without memorising exact ranges, designed for players who want to make better decisions faster in real tournament conditions
• Large-field ICM and final table dynamics — how to navigate the unique ICM pressures of large online fields, including chip leader leverage, short-stack management, and closing out tournaments efficiently
• Online grinding fundamentals — high-volume session review covering table selection, volume management, and maintaining decision quality across a long grind

Breno’s coaching philosophy is grounded in the realities of online MTT grinding at scale — practical, results-oriented, and built for players who want to improve their large-field tournament results.
