Aliro Diaz is the latest winner on the Latin American Poker Tour - earning the victory at LAPT Chile in Vina del Mar. Diaz (2012 PTPR Rank: 137th) had a mid-chip stack at the start of final table play but he refused to go away without a fight.
Once heads up, Diaz disposed of his opponent in seven hands. Diaz told Pokernews that he felt he had played the best tournament of his life, well, it was certainly the most lucrative, that's for sure!
It was a disappointing day for overnight chip leader Sergio Escobar. Escobar wasn't able to get things going on Sunday, finally bowing out in sixth position, failing to pickup any PTPR Points along the way.
