Who Will Be the LAPT Season 3 Champion?
For the past few days the LAPT Season 3 Grand Final has been played at the City Center Casino in Rosario, Argentina. Today all of that action will climax with the crowing of a champion. Yesterday it took only five hours to reduce the field from 24 players down to the final eight. Among them are the Chilean, Nicolas Alberto Fierro Gottner, who managed to ride his massive Day 1 chip lead all the way to the final table; the chip leader and Argentinean, Roberto Bianchi, who has home field advantage on his side; and Matthias Habernig, the winner of the LAPT-Florianopolis event just one month ago. If Habernig manages to win today, he will equal Jose "Nacho" Barbero’s achievement of winning back-to-back LAPT tournament (Barbero did it this season at the Punta del Este and Lima stops).
If yesterday was any indication, the action will be fast and furious; in fact, the entire tournament has been characterized by unadulterated aggression. Without further adieu, here is an in-depth look at the final table:
Seat 1: Roberto Bianchi (Argentina) - 1,242,000
Seat 2: William Ross (USA) - 352,000
Seat 3: Ivan Saul (Argentina) - 179,000
Seat 4: Nicolas Alberto Fierro Gottner (Chile) - 406,000
Seat 5: Matthias Habernig (Austria) - 465,000
Seat 6: Martin Sansour (Peru) - 952,000
Seat 7: Bolivar Palacios (Panama) - 1,006,000
Seat 8: Daniel Ades (Argentina) - 514,000
