The curtains were drawn on the first-ever SiGMA Poker Tour festival in April, held at the Monte Carlo Poker Club in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The $770 Main Event was the main attraction following the SiGMA gaming conference, and there was no shortage of entertainment throughout the series.
The festival was capped off with a dominant performance from Deddi Orpaz, who entered the final table as the chip leader and captured his second career title for $58,700. Orpaz outlasted a field of 293 entries over the course of five starting flights and finally took down Jacques Blit from Argentina in a rather quick heads-up match.
The Israeli native was very proud to come out on top of such a stellar field, mostly filled with Brazilians, and lay claim to another five-figure payday. "I actually came here for the SiGMA convention and my son's company got an award," Orpaz mentioned in a post-victory interview. "We took the first award as a small Israeli group and my son told me 'you have to take another award' so that's what I did."

Michele Zafonti opened to 3,000, and received a call from Oliver Mihajlovski in the cutoff, before Ivan Balzano produced a three-bet to 12,000 from the button.
Ilona Aleksandroviene was in the small blind, and after a reasonable period of thought, she reached for chips and went for the cold four-bet to 28,000, leaving herself not much behind.
