Welcome to PokerStars.net LAPT Lima

Welcome to the inaugural PokserStars.net LAPT Lima. This is the first major tournament to be held in this country and is understandably causing great excitement. Being the 4th largest city in Latin America meant it was only a matter of time before the region’s biggest and most prestigious poker tour stopped here on the Pacific coast.

This is a four day tournament with one day one flight. Early estimates indicate a field in excess of 350. Over 100 of these have come from local satellites so it just goes to show you the sense of anticipation this event is causing here in Peru. Play is due to start at 12pm UTC. That’s GMT – 5 hours for those as lost as we were for a while.
