PokerStars have announced that they will be offering a freeroll to all players left in the LAPT Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, event when it was cancelled last week by local officials. They will also be be adding $50,000 in prize money to existing prize pool.

The 89 remaining players will begin the online freeroll with the same number of chips they had when the event was cancelled. Once a final table is formed, the final 9 will be flown down to the LAPT event in Vina del Mar, Chile, where they will play at a televised final table.

The LAPT Chile event is scheduled to take place from January 20th to 22nd, 2009. No date and time have been set yet for the online freeroll. PokerStars are polling the remaining 89 players with a choice of available times to figure out the most opportune time to resume play.

Following the announcement, the LAPT marketing director, Sarne Lightman commented: "We know that many of our remaining players really wanted the opportunity to finish this tournament and earn their shot at an LAPT title. Although the tournament was suspended and the prize money distributed, PokerStars still wants to offer their players this extra opportunity."
