The Latin American Poker Tour has made its way to Colombia in order to crown its latest LAPT Champion as a Spaniard leads the final table charge.
Fresh off a Top 15 finish in WSOP Event #36 - 3K Pot-Limit Omaha, Raul Paez (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1366th) is no stranger to the big stage. Paez finished third to Scotty Nguyen and Michael Mizrachi at the 2006 WPT Gold Strike World Poker Open and has several other final table performances all over Europe.
As the chip leader, Paez is in control of his own destiny, looking for his first LAPT title.
Cristian Velasquez (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) - who enters final table play fourth in chips - finished third in the High Rollers event here at LAPT Colombia last season.
Although some have a few minor scores, none of the remaining final table participants have ever been in this type of spotlight, it will be interesting to see who will rise and who will fall as final table play is set to begin at Noon Colombia Time (COT).
