Key Takeaways
- The “live” page on the online poker client still shows the LAPT Chile stop, but the usual button to view event details has been removed.
- “This event has been canceled, we will be releasing more details soon,” the PokerStars Live Twitter account wrote a week ago.
- If PokerStars does not run an event in Chile this year, it will end a near decade-long streak of hosting a stop in the country.
- There is also a question mark over PokerStars’s level of involvement in this season’s BSOP.
LAPT Chile 2018, scheduled to start next month and launch a season 10 of the Latin American Poker Tour after a one year hiatus, has been canceled, the company has confirmed.
PokerStars did not immediately respond to an inquiry into the matter. However, a Spanish language blog post confirms the cancellation—something that had been rumored for over a week, when satellites were pulled from the poker client and LAPT Chile web pages were removed from the PokerStars Live website.
