The inaugural Hendon Mob Asian Championship will officially debut at the City of Dreams in Manila
The City of Dreams Hotel and Casino in Manila is set to host the first Hendon Mob Asian Championship this summer. This historic event serves as a focal point of the SiGMA Poker Tour Manila festival that runs from May 30 through June 4. The entire series features a total prize pool guarantee of $333,333 and marks a significant expansion for the tour into the competitive Asian market.
A major highlight of the schedule is the SiGMA Poker Tour Main Event, which carries a $250,000 guarantee. This specific tournament requires a $600 buy in and offers five different starting flights to accommodate a large field of players.
Competitors will battle through several days of play starting on May 31 until a winner is crowned on the final day of the festival. This flagship event is expected to draw a diverse crowd of local and international professionals looking to secure a prestigious title in one of the most vibrant gaming hubs in the world.
The specific Hendon Mob Asian Championship tournament begins its two-day run on June 3 with a $200 entry fee. This event provides a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool and represents a unique opportunity for players to earn a specialized trophy. Beyond the cash prize, the champion will receive a special travel package valued at approximately $2,700 for a future event in South Africa.
This prize includes accommodation and entry into the Cape Town Million scheduled for later this year. By linking these global events, the organizers continue to grow a connected circuit that rewards players with international opportunities and high-stakes competition.
