Congratulations to Jose "Nacho" Barbero, LAPT Punta del Este Champion! ($279,330)

Nacho Barbero - LAPT Punta del Este Champion!
Nacho Barbero - LAPT Punta del Este Champion!

Three hundred seven players entered this year's LAPT Punta del Este. Some four days later, all of the chips are stacked in front of just one man. That man, Team PokerStars Pro Jose "Nacho" Barbero, has just knocked out Nicolas Cardyn, sealing the deal and capturing the title of Champion here in Punta del Este.

Barbero bested some of the best names in poker these last few days, coming out on top against some serious competition. Among the amateurs in the field were a number of big-name pros, including Team PokerStars Pros Humberto Brenes, Alexandre Gomes, Andre Akkari, Pieter de Korver, and Maria Mayrinck.

The battle was hard-fought today as well, with fierce action throughout. Barbero came into the day sixth in chips and certainly played with one goal in mind; winning the tournament. He built up his stack, he was on the short stack, and when the dust settled at the end of the day, he was the only man left standing with chips.

For his efforts this week, Jose "Nacho" Barbero will take home $279,330!
