Pokerstars Announces Latin American Poker Tour Schedule.
November 3, 2009
The internets largest online poker room Pokerstars have announced the new schedule for the upcoming Latin American Poker Tour.
Previous running of this tournament was greatly received by players who flooded to take part in the tournament run by the biggest name poker room.
With this year being the third year that the tournament has been running, Pokerstars have announced that they are going to play the tournament in Costa Rica.
Pokerstars professional Humberto Brenes spoke out about the decision that Pokerstars made to stage the tournament in Costa Rica, saying “In just two seasons, the Latin American Poker Tour has become the biggest poker tour in the region. It attracts the best players from Latin America and all over the world. Last season, the prize pool hit a million dollars in Costa Rica and I know we’re going to beat that this time! I am very proud to play in Costa Rica – it’s my home country and a very special event for me. Tell everyone to come here – the Shark is waiting for them.”
With Brenes laying down that challenge, there is sure to be a number of amateur players who will be looking to make a name for themselves by being the player to eliminate the poker professional.
The $2,500 + $200 tournament won’t be the only attraction in terms of poker action either, Brenes will be staging a charity poker tournament that will feature a $100 buy in, with 50% of the prize pool been given to The Whitney Fund For Nature.
The schedule should offer a great experience for anyone involved, with last years tournament attracting so many big name players from all over the world, with the likes of Daniel Negreanu and Alex Gomes taking their chances at the tables.
If you are looking to take part in the tournament, Pokerstars will be running satellites for the tournaments within their tournament schedules over the next few weeks so better sign up to Pokerstars and get into the action!
