Argentinian Team PokerStars Pro Jose "Nacho" Barbero became the first player to take down back-to-back events at the Latin American Poker Tour when we won the LAPT Lima main event over the weekend.


Barbero had a strong 6.5m to 1.2m lead when heads up started and it didn't take long for him to settle his win against Ben Barrows, the chips going in with A7 vs Barrows' A2.

The field of 383 was the second largest in LAPT history.
