The SiGMA Poker Tour has made its way to the beautiful city of Sao Paulo, Brazil for its first event of the 2025 season. The highly anticipated 5-night stop is expected to bring high-stakes action, exclusive VIP events, and unforgettable entertainment to one of the most exciting poker destinations in the world. Players will gather at the coveted Monte Carlo Poker Club for the $770 Main Event that boasts a guaranteed prizepool of $250,000.
There will be a total of five starting flights over the next three days, two of which will be of the turbo variety late in the evening. In each flight, players will be given a starting stack of 30,000 chips with the blinds starting at 100/200. For the opening flight, the blinds will be 30 minutes in length, with a 15-minute break after every four levels. The cards are scheduled to go in the air at 5 p.m. local time for Day 1a and are expected to bag up chips with just 15% of the field remaining.
Should a player be unfortunate enough to be eliminated, they will be given the option of two reentries per flight. Late registration will be open until the end of level 10, and players will be allowed to surrender their stack at the end of late registration.
The SiGMA Poker Tour will also play host to its ambassadors, who will be engaged at the poker tables throughout the event. The likes of famous footballer John Arne Riise, Lukas Robinson, Drea Karlsen, and YouTuber Jon Vlogs will add an exciting dynamic at the tables.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on-site to bring you all of the updates throughout the event en route to crowning a SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil champion.
The dealers have taken their seats but some introductions are being made as players begin to filter into the Monte Carlo Poker Club. The cards will likely be in the air very shortly.

A completed board of J♣7♠7♣Q♦6♠ was spread across the felt with a little shy of 40,000 chips already in the pot. The action was heads-up on the river and it checked to Feliks Saakyan on the button who ripped all in for 12,700.
Daryosh Rossookh asked for a count and then stuck in the chips to call. Saakyan flipped over 7♦6♦ for a full house while Rossookh was left with A♣Q♣ and just 200 chips after the hand.

Virginia Samara raised to 800 from under the gun and was called by John Arne Riise and Bianca De Souza in the blinds. The flop fell A♥K♠3♣ and Samara continued with a bet of 1,000. Riise stepped aside but De Souza called to see the Q♦ on the turn.
Samara tossed in a bet of 2,000 on the turn and that was enough to force De Souza out of the hand.
On the next hand, Leonardo Boen raised it up from middle position and picked up three callers along the way. The flop came A♠7♦2♣ and Boen made a bet of 900. All three opponents called including De Souza.
The turn brought the 5♦ and Boen fired another bullet of 2,500. De Souza was the only player to call this time and the K♥ completed the board. Both players quickly checked and De Souza tabled 7♠5♠ for two pair to claim the pot.

Picking up the action on the river with the board reading 6♣4♠3♥Q♣6♦, John Arne Riise led out with a bet of 5,000 from the small blind. Leonardo Boen raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and Deniz Anselmo flat-called on the button. Riise quickly jammed the rest of his 16,200 chips into the middle and both players called.
Riise whipped over 4♥4♣ for a full house while both of his opponents hit the six on the river with A♣6♠ and 6♥5♣ respectively. Riise raked in a healthy pot in the early going while Lukas Robinson took a seat to his right.
