Latin America Poker Tour to Kick Off in Chile
The upcoming 7th season of the PokerStars Latin America Poker Tour is scheduled to kick off on March 19, 2014 in Chile. Spokesman David Carrions commented on the tour's success last season and hopes that the 7th season will top it with players from over 60 countries and prize pools worth more than $9.7 million. “We are committed to maintaining our re-entry proposal, along with improvements in the overall schedule after taking into consideration player feedback," Carrions said. "Our partners are committed to the festivals, and players are enjoying the repeated stops and similar dates. We have high expectations to continue to deliver an accessible tour with large fields and strong prize pools.” Tournament director Michael Ward said a $500 NLH Freeze-Out event with 30-minute levels will also be introduced this season in addition to a $500 NLH Deep Stack Turbo with a single re-entry. "We have also standardised all main event buy-ins across the year at $1,700, except for the Grand Final at $3,000, and raised the buy-in of the NLH unlimited re-entry events from $500 to $1,100,” Ward said.
