Latin America Poker Tour to hit Panama

The current crop of LAPT tours will wind up in Panama by summer, according to a recent report. This will be the next destination for the Latin America Poker Tour, the brainchild of the online poker room Poker Stars. The events have caused some stir at certain locals, such as when the Mexico event was shut down by authorities without explanation. The Panama event will be held from August 3rd through August 9th. There will be a guarantee for the main event, a prize pool of $500k.
