(Aug. 16, 2017) – Talking Stick Resort welcomed a record-breaking crowd to The ARENA Poker Room to participate in the 13th annual Arizona State Poker Championship over the last week.

Sigua, from Daily City outside of San Francisco, travelled to Scottsdale strictly to participate in the five-day tournament at Talking Stick Resort. A professional player for a decade, he joined the championship late in the day on Saturday as an alternate. This marks the biggest win of his career to date. “I’ve been looking for a title, and this is it,” said Sigua. “Everyone here at Talking Stick Resort has greeted me with open arms.”
Emotional from the win, he immediately called his wife and mother, who he credits for the success. “My mom and wife are my biggest supporters,” said Sigua. “My wife encouraged me to keep going and not to work. She had faith in me which helped me stay optimistic.”
Four-time World Series of Poker champion, Tom Schneider served as the host throughout the championship, which in its 13th year has continued to grow in popularity each year. The final 10 players earned their seat at the Finals by battling through the No Limit Hold ‘Em tournament which kicked off on Aug. 11 and a semi-finals round on Aug. 14.
