Day 2 Latin American Poker Tour Ends- Final Table Now SetMon, May 5th, 2008 @ 12:00am The first stop of the Latin American Poker Tour began May 3rd with 314 players, then 113 players started Day 2, and after a long grueling day of play the final nine players have emerged (listed below). They will return Monday May 5 at 2pm to determine who goes home with the LAPT Champion title and the $222,940 top prize money. The $2,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em poker tournament event, sponsored by PokerStars.net, is being held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Here are the final nine and their chip counts at the end of Day 2:
