Welcome to LAPT Punta del Este at Mantra Resort!
Welcome to PokerNews' coverage of the LAPT Punta del Este Main Event, brought to you by PokerStars.net. Throughout the LAPT's 4+ year history, there has been one constant on the schedule.
The Mantra Resort in Punta del Este, Uruguay is once again host to the festivities as in four days time, a second winner in Season 5 of the LAPT will be crowned. In March, Aliro Diaz won LAPT Chile to take down the first title of the season.
When the LAPT was last in Uruguay in August 2011, Alex Komaromi became the first Uruguayan to win on the LAPT. We don't know if he's back to defend his title, but we'll certainly keep an eye out for him.
Play is set to kick off at noon local time, about a half hour from now, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews throughout the day for updates on all of the action. See you at the top of the hour!
