The poker calendar in the region is starting to heat up with the return of the Enjoy Poker Tour 2026, which in May will celebrate its second stop of the season. From the 8th to the 16th, the iconic Enjoy Punta del Este will once again become the epicenter of the game, with an ambitious proposal that will exceed US$2 million in guaranteed prizes and will bring together much of the South American elite.
With a schedule designed to cover all profiles, the series will combine low-cost events with high-stakes tournaments. From accessible satellites of US$165 to the demanding US$5,500 Super High Roller, the festival will seek to offer volume, competition, and entertainment in equal parts. As usual, the action will also feature live coverage by CodigoPoker.
Lots of poker to start with the Open and the High Roller
The kickoff will come on Friday the 8th with the Open, the tournament that historically starts the series and has become an ideal entry point for hundreds of players. With a buy-in of US$550, 20,000 starting chips, and fast 20-minute levels, the event will be resolved in a single day, setting a dynamic pace from the start.
The opening day will not be limited to just one attraction. There will also be qualifying satellites for both the High Roller and the Main Event, as well as an US$880 Progressive Knockout, which will add excitement with US$400 rewards per elimination.
On Saturday the 9th, the spotlight will shift to the US$3,300 High Roller, one of the first major challenges on the schedule. With US$300,000 guaranteed, this tournament will bring together experienced players looking to position themselves strongly from the start of the series. The structure will feature stacks of 60,000 chips and 40-minute levels, favoring deep play.
