Chilean, Oscar Alache Orrego, became only the third player to win two Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) Main Event titles, after victory in front of his home crowd at the Casino Enjoy in Vina del Mar. In 2014, he defeated 692 players to capture the first prize of $135,488 in the Peruvian leg of the PokerStars.net sponsored event.

The Chilean didn’t have to wade through quite as many players to capture his second crown, but 410 is impressive enough. The buy-in was also a grand higher, leading to a much larger prize pool. PokerStars collected $904,460 and $131,960 now belongs to Alache, after a four way deal.
