PokerStar today announced a brand new Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) event on the way to happen as a part of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA). The PCA event will replace the LAPT Grand Final, which was canceled in a mutual agreement between PokerStars and Mantra Resort & Casino.
Season 8 of the LAPT will kick off in January 2015 on the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. This alteration is in fitting with the eu Poker Tour (EPT) where regional PokerStars tournaments have successfully joined forces with EPT stops, creating longer poker festivals with more events and variants on offer.
David Carrion, PCA & LATAM Director of Live Operations said, "The PCA is the richest poker festival held outside of Las Vegas and by including the LAPT we will offer players who're used to lower buy-in tournaments the chance to experience The Atlantis resort and everything the Bahamas has to offer."
Peru will play host to the overall stop of LAPT Season 7, happening October 15-19 at Atlantic City Casino in Lima. LAPT Peru is anticipated to attract hundreds of players for the $1,550 + $150 Main Event, which last year attracted 557 entries and generated a prize pool of $810,440.
