Just a few months ago, Jose Barbero from Argentina won LAPT (Latin American Poker Tour) Punta Del Este in Uruguay and won $279,330 (306 players). This weekend, he did it again. Barbero defeated a field of 384 players in LAPT Lima and took home the first prize of $250,000. Jose Barbero has now became a part of poker history as he is the only one who has won 2 tournaments on the tour. To win 2 tournaments on the same tour within such a short time frame is an amazing achievement. A big congratulations to Jose Barbero. I'm sure we will hear a lot more about this man in the future!
