The Grand Final, of the Seventh Season of the Latin American Poker Tour in Lima, Peru, has come to an end with a new positive for Chile and Oscar Alache. 692 players paid USD $ 1,700 to enter the favorite stage of the regional tournament sponsored by PokerStars.net, in Atlantic City, located Miraflores district. Together they managed to make a prize pool of USD $ $ 1,040,420 to be distributed among the first 103 players. This was the biggest tournament in the history of Peruvian poker. But it was Oscar Alache who felt all the glory of an LAPT title.

The Chilean lifted the trophy in Lima, after 8 hours. But it was not easy because he had a Final table full of excellent players, and chip leader, Jerson Backmann, which threatened to suck all the chips on the table.

José Torre (Argentina) -- 1,105,000 
Daniel Campodónico (Uruguay) -- 1,005,000 
Carlos Sobenes (Perú) -- 695,000
