The Hendon Mob Championship is heading to the Philippines with the SiGMA Poker Tour for the first-ever SPT Manila and The Hendon Mob Asian Championship.

At the heart of the series sits the ₱15,000,000 guaranteed SPT Main Event. The ₱36,000 headlining event features five starting flights and runs the length of the festival with daily Day 1 satellites. Continuing our valued partnership with SiGMA, THMC is another highlight of the festival, featuring a ₱3,000,000 guaranteed two-day event starting on June 3.

Among the other events on the schedule are a ₱300,000 guaranteed Double Stack Turbo, ₱300,000 GTD SiGMA Bounty, the popular invite-only Cubeia Platinum Freeroll, ₱300,000 GTD SPT Mystery Bounty, ₱500,000 GTD Deepstack Turbo, ₱600,000 GTD Last Chance Turbo, and the ₱60,000 AFTX Highroller to close out the festival.

₱3,000,000 GTD The Hendon Mob Asian Championship

Debuting in Manila for the first time, The Hendon Mob Asian Championship begins with Day 1 on June 3 and plays down to a winner on June 4.

City of Dreams and SiGMA Hospitality

Away from the tables, the festival experience expands significantly thanks to its integration with SiGMA Asia 2026. Running alongside the poker series, the conference brings together key figures from across the global iGaming industry, creating a unique crossover between poker and business networking. Players will have access to a calendar of official parties, social mixers, and industry events, transforming the week into a round-the-clock festival.

VIP experiences are another defining feature of the tour, with exclusive tournaments, private lounges, and invite-only events adding a premium layer to the overall offering. Combined with SiGMA’s well-known nightlife and entertainment schedule, the Manila stop delivers a balance of competitive poker and high-end social experiences rarely seen in traditional festival formats.

Ultimately, the SiGMA Poker Tour Manila stop is more than just another series—it’s a hybrid poker-and-entertainment festival. With a strong tournament schedule, accessible entry points, and a full program of off-table events, it offers something for every type of player.
