The schedule for the PokerStars 2015 Latin American Poker Tour has been released and includes two new stops, game formats and a higher Main Event buy-in.
PokerStars' head of live operations, David Carrion, revealed that this year will feature several new innovations.
The LAPT main event buy-in will go up to $2,500; however keeping the unlimited re-entry format. Season 8 will host 13 tournaments per stop including Pot-Limit Omaha, and mixed games like H.O.R.S.E.
Carrion said, “PokerStars live events across the world offer the most diverse selection of different poker variants around. In Latin America, it is a challenge to cater for players fond of the less popular types, however this is something we are determined to do, and we are proud to introduce strong formats this season. With more variety available, we aim to attract more grinders, recreational and all-round players who can see higher EV with these options.”
More on the 2015 LAPT schedule is available on the PokerStars website.
