One of the novelties of the current season, the December Nine is an unprecedented format that will bring together at the end of the year the Main Event champions from each of the nine stages of 2026. The winner of this special competition will receive a bracelet and an extra prize of R$ 100,000.
The first name already confirmed for the December Nine is Bruno Porto, as he won the Main Event of the inaugural stage of CPH 2026, held in January. A famous name not only at the São Paulo tables but also nationally, Porto is already a major attraction for the debut of the new model.
What’s on the schedule for the second stage of CPH
During the 11 days of the event, the second stage of CPH will hold tournaments with buy-ins for all budgets. The highlight is the Main Event, with several qualifying days and a guaranteed prize pool of R$ 500,000. A satellite this Tuesday (24), with a buy-in of R$ 120, will distribute ten seats.

This year, in each stage of the CPH, four High Roller tournaments will be played. They will now count for points in the General Ranking and for an exclusive High Roller ranking, which, like the December Nine, also debuts on the circuit this year.
