Poker in Uruguay?

Vegas? check. Tunica? check. Monte Carlo? check. Barcelona? check; even, Walsall? check. All destinations well known for their big time live poker action, and firmly on the map for proper players as spots to take in some serious poker.

As poker extends its reach across the globe, some very interesting venues are being thrown up, and the latest is Punta Del Este. Where?

Qualifiers for the Latin American Poker Grand Final are underway at PartyPoker.com and there is still time left for players to win their seats for the prestigious tournament in Uruguay running 6-9 December 2007.

Freerolls and online qualifiers are being held daily over the next few weeks at www.PartyPoker.com, with the main online satellites running on the 11th and 25th of November for the Grand Final which will take place at the luxurious Conrad Resort and Casino on the beautiful beachside of Punta Del Este in sunny Uruguay.

This rebuy tournament, the final event of the Conrad Poker Tour, will see top players play for the ultimate Latin American poker crown and a slice of an expected $1 million prize pool. The action and atmosphere promise to be scorching for what is the highlight of the Latin American poker calendar.
