Brazil Becomes First Stop for the 2025 SiGMA Poker Tour

The poker world is gearing up for an electrifying year as SiGMA’s Poker Tour 2025 is set to kick off in vibrant São Paulo, Brazil. Aligning with the powerhouse SiGMA Americas Conference, this inaugural event marks a strategic and thrilling expansion into Latin America, a market that has seen explosive growth in poker over the past few years.

SiGMA Americas + Poker = A Grand Celebration

Scheduled from April 9-14, 2025, the first leg of the SiGMA Poker Tour will unfold at the prestigious Monte Carlo Poker Club. A hefty $250,000 guaranteed prize pool awaits participants, making this a must-attend tournament for poker enthusiasts around the world.

In a move that underscores the importance of this event, the tour will also feature the first-ever Hendon Mob Latam Championships (THMC Latam). It’s a historical moment for the Hendon Mob and the Global Poker Index (GPI) as they expand their influence into the fast-growing Latin American poker scene.

Roland Boothby, head of partnerships at GPI/The Hendon Mob, expressed immense excitement about this new chapter. “The entire team at Global Poker Index and The Hendon Mob is thrilled to enter the Latin American market for the first time alongside the SiGMA Poker Tour,” he stated. Boothby also emphasized that live events like the Hendon Mob Championship are pivotal for connecting international poker communities with emerging live poker tours.

Why Brazil, and Why Now?

Choosing Brazil as the tour’s starting point isn’t just about warm beaches and samba rhythms. Brazil has become one of the world’s fastest-growing poker markets, fueled by a young, energetic population, increased online poker participation, and a cultural shift embracing competitive card games.

This expansion into Brazil not only caters to an enthusiastic poker community but also positions the SiGMA Poker Tour to leverage a booming Latin American gaming market. The synergy between SiGMA’s world-class conferences and the Hendon Mob’s poker prestige promises an exceptional experience for players and spectators alike.

As Boothby highlighted, “SiGMA is renowned for its world-class conferences and networking events, and I have full confidence in the ability of the SiGMA Poker Tour to seamlessly connect these elements with the international poker scene, particularly in the rapidly growing Brazilian market.”

A Game-Changer for Latin American Poker

This collaboration is poised to elevate live poker events across Latin America. By integrating the Hendon Mob’s championship structure with SiGMA’s conference expertise, players can expect a unique experience that blends high-stakes poker, invaluable networking opportunities, and electrifying entertainment.

Moreover, this event sets a new standard for how poker tournaments are hosted globally. It’s no longer just about the cards—it’s about community, celebration, and creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for players of all levels.

Conclusion: São Paulo Sets the Stage for a New Era

As the cards hit the felt at the Monte Carlo Poker Club this April, the SiGMA Poker Tour will not only open a new chapter for itself but will also redefine the Latin American poker scene. For players seeking glory, and for fans hungry for thrilling poker action, São Paulo will be the center of the poker universe.
