LAPT Uruguay

The LAPT makes a welcome return to Uruguay in Season 5 and visits spectacular Punta del Este, which has been an ever-present on the Latin American Poker Tour schedule since way back in Season 1. At the Season 4 event the first ever Uruguayan LAPT winner was crowned, as Alex Komaromi took home the title and $244,720, while in Season 3 history was made when Argentina’s Jose Nacho Barbero took home $279,330 for the win, putting together back-to-back victories after LAPT Lima Peru.
