Josh Kay is a very happy man right now.

Not only does he have $367,928 reasons to smile, but he also knows that he waded through a field of exceptional players to earn all those dollars.

Kay is the winner of the inaugural Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) $3,000 Main Event, in the Bahamas – held in conjunction with the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) – and what a victory it was.

The Michigan native is ostensibly a cash game player, demonstrated by the fact that his winning paycheck contains the same sort of numbers that his entire Hendon Mob CV has chalked up over the past six years.

On the final day of action 11-players remained from a field containing 736 entrants, and that included two former PCA Main Event champions in Galen Hall and Dimitar Danchev. Hall would fall short of the final table, and Danchev would end his run in sixth.
