Latin Series of Poker Kicks Off 2012 Season With Lima Event
- BLUFF Staff | February 6, 2012
The Latin American Poker Tour has some competition on its hands. Today the newly formed Latin Series of Poker (LSOP) revealed it will kick off a slate of 2012 events in June with a tournament at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima, Peru.
The event, which is set to run from June 5th-10th will have a $500,000 guarantee. The $1,500 + $150 buy-in tournament will be a re-entry event. Online poker site Americas CardRoom is already running satellites for the event. The site will be giving away a guaranteed 13 packages to the event that includes buy-in, round trip airfare, hotel accommodations, and transportation. Each package is valued at $3,500. Players can satellite their way into the inaugural LSOP event for as little as $7.70.
The LSOP is also affiliated with the Punta Cana Poker Classic Event in the Dominican Republic. The 2011 Punta Cana event drew 415 players and paid a first place prize of more than $136,000. In past years,independent stops like the Aruba Poker Classic managed to draw big numbers thanks to online qualifiers, which is something LSOP aims to replicate with its 2012 live events.
