PokerStars calls LAPT Vina del Mar Event off
- 3-12-2010
PokerStars.com has announced that its Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) Chile event set to run in Vina del Mar from March 19th to 23rd, has been canceled as a result of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the country on February 27th.
The epicenter was located approximately 175 miles north of the Vina del Mar Casino and Resort. The earthquake has been followed by more than 30 aftershocks, including a 7.2 magnitude earthquake reported on Thursday, March 11th, which was more powerful than the quake that destroyed Haiti.
Even when the LAPT could have reschedule the event or set it up in a neighboring country, Poker Stars decided to put the event on hold while the country recovers from the earthquake effects and rebuild its cities
PokerStars has apologized to all of the players who were planning to attend the festival and informed that any player who qualified or bought into the tournament will be fully refunded both their buy-in and any out-of-pocket expenses. Any questions about the event can be sent to lapt@pokerstars.com. The next stop on the LAPT will be the Grand Final in Argentina. The official dates and schedule of events will be announced in the next weeks.
