Two-Time LAPT High Roller Amos Ben Enters the Field
Level 4
: 150/300, 50 ante
The field is growing, and two more players have entered the field. One of these players is Chile's Amos Ben, who is fourth on the country's all-time money list and holds two Latin America Poker Tour High Roller titles.
Ben's first title was earned in 2013 when he took down the $5,000 event in Panama City for $49,070, and the most recent came in 2016 when he won the $3,000 event in Uruguay for $61,010.
While Ben boasts ten career titles, he has yet to win one on home soil, so look for him to fight his way to the top in this event.
