Lima, Peru – February 3, 2012 - Organizers of the Latin Series
of Poker (LSOP) announced today that they will guarantee half a million
dollars in their first Live Poker Event in 2012. The Texas Hold'em
tournament will be held from June 5th to June 10th at the Atlantic City
Casino in Lima, Peru.
The LSOP has also announced that its $500,000 Main Event
will feature a re-entry methodology destined to attract the "who's who"
of online and live poker. The buy-in for this event has been announced
to be $1,500+150, which gives the players a great value on such a high
guarantee.
Qualifiers for the LSOP are
now live on the Winning Poker Network, including fast-growing sites
Americas Cardroom, BetCRIS, and TruePoker. In February alone, The
Winning Poker Network is guaranteeing 13 prize packages, spread out
over 13 separate events. Each package is valued at $3,500 and includes:
the $1,500+150 Main Event buy-in; round-trip airfare up to $1,000;
5-night hotel accommodations in Lima, Peru; and airport-Hotel-Airport
transportation in Lima.
US-poker players
have been craving land-base poker tournaments ever since the Aruba Poker
Classic ended its run in 2009. LSOP management noted that Winning Poker
Network is the ideal online poker site to feed players to the LSOP
tournament. In 2010, the network's core sites stepped up to the plate by
sending players to the Punta Cana Poker Classic, which is now heading
into its third year.

Latin Series of Poker and a full schedule of Super Satellites for the
land-based tournament can be found at www.LSOP.com.
