Garcia Leads After Day 1
After six levels, Day 1 of Season 5 LAPT Uruguay Main Event has come to an end. Roughly 270 players remain from the 375 that began the day and on top of the counts is Juan Garcia. He bagged up 134,650 and appears to be the only player in the field with a six-figure stack.
Team PokerStars was well represented in the field today and among those who survived were Angel Guillen (24,000), Nacho Barbero (22,600), and Humberto Brenes (16,825). Fellow Team Pros Andre Akkari, Christian de Leon, and Leo Fernandez will not be returning for Day 2.
Notables that will also be back on Friday include Season 4 LAPT Colombia champion Julian Menendez (72,000), Fabrizio Gonzalez (62,875), Bolivar Palacios (44,650), and defending champion Alex Komaromi (37,075).
Day 2 will begin at noon local time tomorrow, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews for all of the exciting action. Until then, good night from Punta del Este!
