A Numbers Game

The big board in the corner of the room shows that approximately 311 players have entered this iteration of the LAPT Punta del Este.

Registration has closed following the break, so nobody else will be allowed to join the party from here on out. We're just waiting for the staff to finalize the entries before we have the official total, but 311 is going to be awfully close.

It should be noted that the field size is down a bit from the previous two seasons. The staff seems content with the turnout, though, blaming the slight dropoff on the Americans. It's not all our fault, though. PokerStars themselves may have stolen a couple dozen entries by scheduling the NAPT Venetian against this event. Nobody's complaining, though, and the 300+ runners will still generate a handsome prize pool.

We'll get you the full official numbers as soon as they're in.
