888poker Ambassador Alexandre “Cavalito” Mantovani Sets His Sights on Crushing 2023

Poker News

After a 2022 that saw Alexandre Mantovani join 888poker, represent the site at live events around the world and cash in the WSOP Main Event, the Brazilian is looking forward to 2023.

PokerNews caught up with “Cavalito” to find out just how ready and raring to go he is, and found him determined to put in the effort to make this an extra special year — both on and off the felt.

“Before Madrid, I had been on vacation and had only played two small online sessions,” he told PokerNews. “I managed to win two online tournaments, so it’s been a good start to the year.

“Cashing in the first 888poker LIVE event of the year was great, but I’m really wanting a big live event final table”

With 2023 already well underway, Mantovani is targeting two New Years resolutions to get the most out of his year and came close to achieving one with a 20th place finish in the 888poker LIVE Madrid Main Event.

“Cashing in the first 888poker LIVE event of the year was great, but I’m really wanting a big live event final table. It’s been a while so that would be nice. I would have loved to have it here in Madrid, as my wife was there with me.

“It would have been nice to have a big occasion like that while she’s with me, as I’m not sure if she’ll be able to join me on other stops.”

Off the felt, Mantovani is also keen to put in the hard yards, and is determined to get in the “best shape of his life” to help his poker. However, he admits that it’s a tough balancing act.

“I’ve been putting more attention on fitness and nutrition, but I’m taking it steady. I’ve burnt out twice in the past five years, so I need to be able to maintain a pace that means I don’t hurt myself.

“I know I have the ability to just flick a switch and put in the hours to make things happen, but it has to be done in a sustainable way. So that’s another part of my plan for 2023 — improve as a player and as a person, but not get burnt out in the process — if possible!”
