LAPT Sao Paulo
The Latin America Poker Tour will be kicking off Season 4 in great style with a debut event in the largest city in Brazil, Sao Paulo. This is the LAPT's first visit to the amazing city of Sao Paulo but Brazil is familiar territory for the LAPT which is visiting Brazil for the third time. The 5,000 BRL Main Event runs February 16 – 20, 2011.
The main financial hub in the country, Sao Paulo is also Brazil's most cosmopolitan city, with top-rate restaurants and impressive cultural and arts scenes. A summer-time visit to this beautiful city – famed for its caipirinha, all you can eat barbecue and buzzing nightlife - is likely to have very widespread appeal.
