LAPT Viña del Mar Breaks Records as Vicky Coren Announces Marriage and Jennifer Tilly Joins The Simpsons

The Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) in Viña del Mar had 651 players, 30 more than the previous year. The main event, with a buy-in of $1,000 + $100, has gathered a prize pool of over $129,000 for the winner. Joao Lopes, a Brazilian player, leads the 190 remaining players in the LAPT Viña del Mar main event.

Vicky Coren, the first woman to win an EPT in London in 2006, is set to marry English comedian David Mitchell. This announcement confirms that her charm during the heads-up of the first IFP World Championship against Raúl Mestre was purely strategic.

In an upcoming episode of The Simpsons, Homer will use an online poker room as a bank due to his mistrust of financial institutions. Jennifer Tilly will voice a character in this episode, teaching Lisa Simpson how to play poker online from a DVD.
