SiGMA Poker Tour Hits Malta This September – €150,000 Guaranteed & PokerListings Will Be There

SiGMA Poker Tour 2025

Earlier this year, the SiGMA Poker Tour made waves in São Paulo, Brazil, where Deddi Orpaz secured an epic win in the $770 Main Event, taking home $58,700. That event laid the foundation for SiGMA’s global poker involvement. Now it’s Malta’s turn to show that not only in Brazil do they know how to Samba at the tables!

The Main Event comes with a €150,000 guaranteed prize pool, and it’s being held at the well-known Portomaso Casino in St. Julian’s. It’s the top destination for live poker on Malta. This is the casino where everyone is heading to for playing daily/weekly tournaments, and special events such as SiGMA Poker Tour.

If you’re a grinder, a casual player who loves to take a shot now and then, or just someone who wants to combine poker with a great holiday vibe, this is a good one to visit.

And if that’s not enough to convince you – PokerListings will be on site making content, talking to players, and getting a glimpse of all the poker action.

Here’s the full schedule:

Ivonne Montealegre: The Heart Behind Malta’s Poker Scene

No conversation about poker in Malta is complete without Ivonne Montealegre being mentioned, a passionate Event Director who has helped to shape the Maltese poker industry to what it is now.

As the founder of Malta Poker Festival, she’s been challenged over the years, but always comes out on top. Poker players from all over the world love her events, and just know they will be treated well when visiting the Rock.

Ivonne’s commitment to recreational players and women in poker is endless, and with SiGMA Poker Tour, she is adding another layer of excitement to the already vibrant poker scene of Malta.
