LAPT SEASON 7 (Season 8 schedule announced) - Page 5 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

Thomas: I see full qualifiers have hotel covered from oct 15, the same day that lapt starts.

If this is correct, I guess most full qualifiers will be playing 1B since they will arrive at Lima too late for playing 1A.

Hi Octavian,

As this moment, there is no plan to have an LAPT in Colombia next season.

For the LAPT Bahamas is it possible to make the package 5 nights even though 4 would be sufficient. A lot of the value for this stop is the location and an extra day at the resort would be appreciated by many.

Reason for this?

Also, I just read an article about Mexico's gambling reform. Here is a link http://www.pokernews.com/news/2014/0...xico-19133.htm
Does Pokerstars have any insight into the outcome and what it could mean for LAPT?
Having a LAPT in Tijuana would be clear first choice because of the close proximity to the US. Followed by Mexico City and Cancun.

+ 1 million to LAPT Tijuana/Hipodromo for a host of positive reasons. If it becomes at all doable.

Hi Thomas !

There should be FPP packages at better prices , for supernova and sne.
I doubt many people have bought the 215.000 FPP Lapt Lima (platinum)...

See you in Lima

Hi alexo18,

I will mention this to the powers that be and see if they can make any adjustments to the FPP price but I think it's based on a formula and unlikely to change. See you in Lima.

I got impatient.

Thx for running one yesterday. I hope for a trial it was deemed a success. A lot of Canadians took part that probably wouldn't try for Peru so this offering is hitting a separate market.

Hi Brad,

They will stay on and the offer will be monitored weekly. Unless a disaster in participation happens, we will maintain regularly or increase.

Hi Gerardo,

We are balancing the targets of qualifiers for both Peru and Bahamas and we have made an adjustment to the weekend offer for Peru. I am checking the lobby as we speak and I can see one 11 3x up for everyday until Saturday (included). You should be able to see it too.

Hi Thomas and David,
From what I see, LAPT Bahamas' last day (FT) overlaps with the Main Event, so I guess a few players from the FT won't be able to buy in late enough to the ME, is that correct?

Slept through the $109 today doh. Not a bad turnout. I see there's a $215 next weekend is it possible to run sats to this throughout the week?

Hi Marcos,

Final Table players will be able to play PCA ME if they choose so because registration is open until beginning of play of Day 2 of PCA. In reality, only 1st and second will really enter late. I think 3rd or worst will actually be able to bust and enter ME within the first 3 to 4 hours of play as per our usual pace of play.

We would have liked to be able to start one day earlier top make it all fit perfectly but this is the best we can do, which I think is still good.

Hi! It s great to see this LAPT final is now part of the PCA! What about running the sat at a more european time like the 700$ PCA which is at 3pm E.T.? Because at the moment the 109$ 1r1a LAPT Bahamas sat is at 8pm E.T. which is late...

Will LAPT Bahamas sat be available with no rebuy at 215 or 320$ for example?

Really sucks you guys are running PCA sats 4 months ahead of time, and straight up cutting most of the Peru sats. majority rules I suppose.

Can I at least play LAPT Bahama sats and use the winnings towards other LAPT events for next year? We have ONE LAPT Peru sat today when every single other sunday ever there has been 4

You guys are cannibalizing your own market with a tournament that nobody on the LAPT tour has ever even played before, with a tournament that isn't even in Latin America. Besides being unfair to players, what difference would it make to stars?

nice first post
