PokerStars Evolving With Announcement of Latin America Poker Tour

Latin America is beautiful. It contains some of the nicest beaches in the world, to go along with the natural beauty in many of the countries. That beauty will now be shown to some of the top poker players in the world.

PokerStars announced on Monday that it is launching the Latin America Poker Tour. The world's largest online poker site will now be bringing poker together with some of the most majestic countries anywhere in the world.

The tour is set to begin May 3rd through the 5th. Rio De Janeiro, Brazil will be the location of the inaugural tournament. There will also be stops in Uruguay and Costa Rica on the tour.

"Poker is exploding in Latin America and the game is more than ready for its own major poker tour. It's one of the fastest growing poker regions and there are thousands upon thousands of players in countries like Brazil and Argentina who will love the chance to take part in events of this kind," said Glenn Cademartori, President of LAPT.

Attendance at the Latin America Tour locations should be high. Players will travel from all over the world to not only play in the tournaments, but also to vacation.

PokerStars was a natural sponsor choice for the tour. They already sponsor the Asia Pacific Poker Tour and the European Poker Tour.
