The Latin American Poker Tour event in Punta del Este, Uruguay, is underway and there are several Team Bodog poker players out among the almost 400 players who all ponied up the $2,500 entrance fee to play in this three day tournament.

Several big name poker pros made the trip down to Uruguay to be part of the LAPT Punta del Este, the finale of the inaugural season of the LAPT. Included among those poker pros are Greg Raymer, Humberto Brenes, Barry Greenstein, Chad Brown, Vanessa Rousso, Brandon Cantu and WSOP Final Tablist David "Chino" Rheem. There are also three Team Bodog poker players who are playing in their own backyards at this event. Jose "Head2782″ Severino, Jose "papadelpoker" De La Guardia and Bolivar "ramux" Palacios are all from Panama and made the quick hop to Punta del Este to take part in the tournament and represent the Black and Red in the Southern Hemisphere.

Courtesy of our friends over at PokerListings.com, we can tell you that there are now currently 305 players remaining and the tournament is in level four out of the ten levels that will be played today. The LAPT president has also guaranteed and $1 million prizepool, which should make for a very happy winner come Saturday when the final table will play out.
