PokerStars Releases Schedule for LAPT

First Europe — then Asia — and now Latin America.

PokerStars today announced it launched the Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT), and players can already begin to qualify for the first event, which is scheduled to take place May 3-5 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Two more tourneys are scheduled for this summer: LAPT San Jose in Costa Rica, May 22-24 and LAPT Punta del Este in Uruguay, Aug. 7-9. All events have buy-ins of $2,500.

The PokerStars European Poker Tour is in its fourth season and, with large buy-ins tourneys packed with the best players in the world, has been a smashing success. Its Asia Pacific Poker Tour completed its first season last fall with a schedule as abbreviated as the first LAPT schedule, but the APPT still attracted large fields and opened the poker market to Macau.

Satellites for the first event started running today and start for as little as $2.20. Click here to take advantage of a deposit bonus offered through Cardplayer.com.
