The PokerStars Latin America Poker Tour was halted by Mexican gaming officials in the middle of the tournament. There were 89 players remaining when authorities abruptly shutdown the tourney and everyone was forced to leave.

Poker Stars issued the following statement regarding the event:

The Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) confirms that it is canceling the poker tournament in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, due to an indefinite suspension served on one of its local partners.

The LAPT states it has cooperated fully and in good faith with the requirements outlined by the Mexican government. The LAPT respects and abides by local regulations in each market.

LAPT’s partner in Mexico obtained a formal ruling from the Mexican Ministry of the Interior (SEGOB) allowing the event to take place. As the LAPT compiled with every rule stipulated by the Code of the Mexican Federal Law of Games and Raffles, the reasons for suspension are being reviewed by lawyers of all parties.

Pokerstars announced they will allow the 89 remaining players to finish the tournament online, and then the final 9 will be sent to Chile to finish the tournament live. An additional $50,000 in prize money will be awarded to the final table.
