It seems as though everything PokerStars touches turns to gold and the Latin American Poker Tour is another gilded example of the company’s ability to host a poker tour.
Indeed, the stretches of golden beaches that line each stop on the tour may have something to do with the popularity of this latest offering. The first stop on this season’s calendar was in the beautiful Costa Rican resort of Playa Conchal, where players were treated to a bevy of entertainment including a lavish opening party with enough cocktails to start the season on a real high. The second stop on the tour is the ever-popular PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (see pages 20-21) where the cream of the poker world is expected to work on their tans and play a bit of cards. The tour’s organizers expect all previous records to be broken and with three new stops added (Playa Conchal – Costa Rica, Punta del Este – Uruguay and Vina del Mar - Argentina) it seems a decent bet that the LAPT will be another storming success. |
