The first-ever SiGMA Poker Tour in São Paulo, Brazil witnessed thrilling moments at the Monte Carlo Poker Club as two standout players secured impressive wins in side championships alongside the main event winner. Marcelo Mesqueu, one of Brazil’s top poker stars, triumphed in the inaugural R$ 1,400 Hendon Mob Latam Championship. At the same time, Dory Brito dominated the Divas 20K, securing both the championship and a coveted spot in Malta‘s SiGMA Poker Tour. These wins not only marked milestones in their careers but also highlighted the growing excitement around SiGMA‘s poker presence in Latin America.
Marcelo Mesqueu’s victory at the Hendon Mob Championship, the first ever championship edition to be held in the Latam region, added another prestigious title to his illustrious poker career. With 19 entries in the tournament, Mesqueu walked away with R$ 11,850, plus a package to the prestigious Cape Town Million event, part of The Hendon Mob Championship in South Africa. This victory further cements Mesqueu’s reputation as a major force in Brazilian poker, combining skill and strategy to claim the top spot.
Meanwhile, the Divas 20K was a highlight of the SiGMA Poker Tour, attracting female poker enthusiasts from across Brazil. Dory Brito claimed the title, defeating the field and securing R$ 4,600 along with her place in Malta. “It’s a huge emotion. I’ve played in three Divas tournaments, and winning this one was something I truly wanted. It’s an important tournament for women’s poker, and it’s especially exciting to win it, coming from Roraima,” said Brito, reflecting on her momentous victory.
As the SiGMA Poker Tour continues to grow in Latin America, both Mesqueu’s and Brito’s triumphs are a testament to the tournament’s rising influence and the prominence of the Brazilian poker scene. Looking ahead, the excitement continues with the next SiGMA Poker Tour set for 3-7 September 2025 in Malta after SiGMA Euro-Med, offering another chance for poker players to showcase their skills and make their mark in the spotlight.
