But the big poker tournament awaited by followers of the game entitled Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) was scheduled to take place at the Casino Enjoy Viña del Mar in Maule, the coastal area the most ravaged of the country.
It was the biggest tournament organized in this region and a lot of participants have already completed their registration to be part of this wonderful poker tournament. Besides many game fanatics wait with impatience the start of the tournament. Unfortunately, these big poker fans will be disappointed because after this gruesome event, organizers were forced to cancel this Chilean step. In a statement, they sent their sincere condolences and great sympathy for the victims of this natural disaster and they also announced the cancellation of this series of LAPT.
