Seat 8: Engelberth Varela, Venezuela (PokerStars Qualifier) – 1,840,000
Engelberth Varela is the mystery man of the LAPT Punta del Este final table. Little is known about the young Venezuelan, other than he’s recorded two previous cashes on the LAPT: a 17th place finish in Lima back in April ($5,420) and a 13th place finish in Florianopolis during LAPT Season 3 ($9,245). We do know one thing – Varela can play, and he’ll most definitely make his presence known at Sunday’s final table, unbagging a second-best 1,840,000 in chips when play begins.
