Season 5 of the Latin American Poker Tour is finished, and two of its top players are walking away with top honors in the LAPT Awards. Nevertheless, there are still votes that need counting.
Daniel Ospina has won Player of the Year and a season’s worth of main event buy-ins. Ospina has long been fighting for this honor. Last season, the Colombian placed fourth on the overall leaderboard despite being the best short-handed player of Season 4. In Season 5, Ospina made sure he took the top overall spot. You can now expect to see him on every stop of LAPT Season 6.
LAPT Peru champion Jordan Scott did more than win a title in Season 5. He also picked up the honor of Best Online Qualifier. Scott pocketed $168,210 for his win in Lima. His LAPT Awards win has earned him six $215 tickets that he can use for any LAPT qualifiers during the year.
While Ospina and Scott earned their titles through a lot of effort, there are still two open awards that require your vote. From now until February 22, LAPT players and media can vote on LAPT Venue of the Year and LAPT Achievement of the Year.
Here are the finalists for the awards.
LAPT Venue of the Year
(Voting only open to Season 5 players)
LAPT Achievement of the Year
(Voting open to Season 5 main event players, online satellite players, and LAPT media)
