1st LAPT Event Down to Nine
314 players made the trek to Rio de Janerio and the final nine have been determined. Per the PokerStarsBlog here is your inaugural Latin American Poker Tour final table as Alex Brenes (pictured above) is no stranger to final table play:

Julien Nuijten (Holland) - 970,000
Alex Brenes (Costa Rica) - 324,000
Vitaly Kovyazin (USA) - PokerStars qualifier - 380,000
Severin Walser (Switzerland) - PokerStars qualifier - 175,000
Eduardo Henriques (Brazil) - 275,000
Rafael Pardo (Colombia) - PokerStars qualifier - 278,000
Juan Carlos Burguillos (venezuela) - 297,000
Oliver Kugler (Germany) - PokerStars qualifier - 176,000
Nikolai Senniger (Germany) - PokerStars qualifier - 318,000


They will be starting play at 2pm Rio's time, so break out a trusty google time conversion tool for your area. It sounds like they had another marathon session as play ended just 12 hours before the players are being asked to return to the tables to fight for the $222,940 first prize and the honor of being "the first" LAPT champion.

Follow the tournament along at LAPT.com and as mentioned about, the live blog at Pokerstarsblog.com will be posted all the major hands and eliminations with videos at PokerStars.TV as well.
