For the first time, the casino will host the one of the biggest poker tournaments in Latin America and is proud to host the $2,700 buy-in LAPT Lima Main Event starting on June 2nd, 2010.

"Not only will LAPT Lima be a great place to visit but the poker will be some of the best in the world. With so many events taking place, and the best players in Latin America and beyond heading to Peru, it should be a great week to be a poker player." said David Carrion, LAPT President.

Players can expect to find an exciting mix of side events and cash games at the Atlantic City Casino during LAPT Lima, including satellites to the main event, a second chance tournament, a six-max event and a turbo event. All this, combined with a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit one of the most breathtaking destinations, situated among the clouds, should make LAPT Lima not only one of the best events on the poker calendar, but also one of the most memorable.
