LAPT PUNTA DEL ESTE

The LAPT makes a welcome return to Uruguay where in Season 2 the event busted the $1 million prize pool mark and drew the largest field last season with 327 poker pros taking to the felt.

Taking time out from his political studies, 20-year-old student Karl Hevroy from Bergen, Norway won one of South America’s largest ever poker events. The star studded poker tournament, which attracted 327 players from across the world, took three days of intense competition to win and netted the young poker player a cool USD$283,500.

WELCOME PARTY

To kick off this wonderful event, there will be a Welcome Party on Tuesday February 23rd from 9pm – 11pm at Guapa Lounge. The dress code for the party will be evening casual.  Come and hang out with all the Team Pros and your poker fellows!

Transportation will be provided to and from the party.

Below you will find links to further information about the tournament:
