LatPoker Satellite Details: Win a VIP Package into the SPT Brazil Main Event

You can begin your journey of climbing up the satellite ladder immediately via LatPoker qualifier events.

STEP 1

Every day at 8:00pm (GMT -3), LatPoker players can directly enter the STEP 1 SPT Brazil Main Event qualifier tournament for an extremely modest buy-in of $0.15.

These qualifiers will award plenty of entries into the STEP 2 satellite tier event. If you miss out on qualifying one night, you can simply buy-in again for the next evening’s $0.15 STEP 1 satellite.

Roughly 1-out-of-36 entrants will qualify for the next step when playing the nightly $0.15 STEP 1 event, so don’t fret if it takes you a few tries to ladder-up.

STEP 2

Once you win your entry into the STEP 2 satellite tournament, you will need to compete in the Saturday night STEP 2 qualifier that will start at 8:00pm on the evenings of March 21st and March 28th, GMT -3 time.

If you failed to qualify via one of the STEP 1 sub-satellites, don’t worry. You can buy-in directly to the Saturday night STEP 2 satellite for $5.50 USD.

The chances of gaining entry into the STEP 3 final qualifier are much better for STEP 2 when compared to STEP 1, as approximately 1-in-6 players will advance.

However, LatPoker players have only two remaining chances to enter STEP 3 via this route, as Saturday, March 29th, will be the final STEP 2 satellite event into the 2026 SiGMA Poker Tour Sao Paulo Main Event.

STEP 3

The final STEP 3 satellite qualifier into the 2026 SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil Main Event will take place on Sundays at 8:00pm (GMT -3 time).

You can use the ticket you earned through the “step” system to enter into this deciding online qualifier tournament, or you can buy-in directly for the low price of $33 USD.

The final STEP 3 tournaments — to be held on Sunday, March 22nd, and Sunday, March 29th — will ultimately decide the lucky winners who will receive a VIP package entry into the April 2026 SPT Brazil Main Event in Sao Paulo.

Both STEP 3 satellite tournaments will offer a bare minimum of 3 VIP packages. You won’t want to miss out on this exclusive chance to qualify immediately for your SPT Brazil VIP experience, which offers a chance at a big win if you make the final table of the SPT Brazil Main Event.

SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil VIP Package Details (LatPoker Players)

If you are victorious in the STEP 3 satellite, you will win an exclusive SPT Brazil VIP package that’s worth over $1,000 USD, and secure your spot into the in-person main event in Sao Paulo.

SPT Brazil

The SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil VIP Package for LatPoker STEP 3 qualifier winners includes:

  • Entry into the R$2,500 buy-in (R$1,000,000 GTD) Main Event at the Monte Carlo Poker Club in Sao Paulo
  • Preferred access to the BiS SiGMA official welcome celebration
  • One-on-one “meet and greet” access to SiGMA Poker Tour’s prestigious poker ambassadors
  • Networking opportunities with influential gaming and poker business experts
  • Free, 24/7 availability of food and beverages for the duration of the poker festival
  • Preferred VIP attendance via Centurion FC 28 MMA fight ticket at SiGMA Transamerica Hall in Sao Paulo
  • Free entry into the BiS SiGMA conference hosted by Latin American gaming elites

The five-night accommodations package includes luxurious lodging at the Hilton Morumbi from April 2nd through April 6th (Thursday through Monday). If you’re planning on attending the FC 28 MMA event on April 8th, you can verify with your VIP host to see if the package can be shifted to Friday through Tuesday.

Once the 2026 SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil Main Event has played down to 9 players, “Day 2” action will halt and resume the following day (Monday, April 6th) for a live-streamed finale.

Depending on overall turnout, the eventual Main Event winner could take home more than $25,000 of the $150,000 guaranteed prize pool. The “turbo” blind structure format of Days 1A-1D ensure that even casual poker players have a chance to survive to Day 2 and compete for a final table appearance.

You can visit the 2026 SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil webpage for full scheduling details.

Additional Freeroll Opportunities for Brazil Players (LatPoker)

LatPoker players who are physically located in Brazil can take advantage of additional freeroll opportunities to win their seat into the 2026 SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil Main Event in Sao Paulo.

The eventual freeroll winners from Brazil may opt to forego the hotel stay if they are located close enough to Sao Paulo to commute, but there will still be VIP packages available for winners who reside in the northern part of the country.

Four “Day Ones” Spread Over Two Calendar Days

There will be two “Day One” flights for the SPT Brazil 2026 Main Event on Friday, April 3rd.

There will be another two “Day One” flights on Saturday, April 4th.

Days 1A (2:00pm GMT -3 on April 3rd) and 1C (11:00am GMT -3 on April 4th, are more “pro-friendly” and offer slower tournament blind sructures.

However, Days 1B and 1D (starting at 8:00pm on April 3rd and April 4th), boast the rec-friendly “turbo” format that gives lesser-skilled players more opportunities to even their odds against highly skilled competitors.

There will be unlimited re-entries for all Day 1 participants. However, the player field will be “locked-in” at the beginning of Day 2 action and the tournament will then shift into a “freezeout” format.

Day 2 will begin at 2:00pm GMT -3 on Sunday, April 5th. The top 15% finishers will receive at least some payout for their participation in the Main Event.

Day 3 is for final table action only, and will start promptly at 2:00pm GMT -3 time at the Monte Carlo Poker Club in Sao Paulo.

More In-Person Poker Tournaments During the 2026 SPT Brazil Poker Festival

Satellite winners who receive their SPT Brazil Main Event seat through a STEP 3 victory can also choose to compete in other in-person tournaments during the SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil 2026 festival.

There will be “Poker Night” tournaments held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night, with starting times ranging from 10:00pm to 11:30pm GMT -3.

Additionally, the massively popular SiGMA Divas tournament commences on Saturday at 4:00pm GMT -3 time.

If you want more poker action, you can participate in Monday night’s “Last Chance” SPT side event that boasts a R$10,000 guarantee or opt to play in one of numerous cash games that will be spread throughout the poker festival.

2026 SPT Brazil Main Event FAQs for LatPoker Players

Here are answers to commonly asked questions for LatPoker players who win a 2026 SiGMA Poker Tour Brazil VIP package.

Does the VIP package available for STEP 3 winners include lodging, meals, drinks, and tournament entry?

Yes. If you qualify for the SPT Brazil Main Event through a STEP 3 satellite on LatPoker, you will receive a seat into the R$1,000,000 Guaranteed Main Event, a five-night stay at the Hilton Morumbi, and free food and drinks at the Monte Carlo Poker Club for the duration of the event.

How far is the commute between the Hilton Morumbi and the Monte Carlo Poker Club?

The Hilton Morumbi and Monte Carlo Poker Club are located about 1 mile (less than 2 kilometers) from one another. A taxi-commute will take about 5 minutes depending on traffic and the time of day.

Where will the 24/7 buffet be offered?

The 24/7 buffet, which includes free food and beverages, will be available inside the Monte Carlo Poker Club. The club itself is “always open,” so you can schedule your daily travel to ensure that you can consume all three of your meals (and then some). Any food and beverages from the Hilton Morumbi will need to be purchased (so plan ahead to get full value out of the MCPC free meals).

Is airfare travel included in the package?

No. If you need to book travel upon winning an SPT Main Event Brazil package, check with your VIP host directly so he or she can secure the best possible rate and time for your round-trip airfare.
