Stop number two  in the inaugural season of the Latin American Poker Tour is finished and poker player Valdemar Kwaysser will go down in history as the first ever winner of the LAPT San Jose, taking home a  $274,103 purse.

Kwaysser arrived third in chips at the tough final table that included several well-known online poker pros in Steve Silverman, Alex Griffin, Alec Torelli and Joe Ebanks. The 24-year-old proceeded to take advantage of as many situations as possible and. According to some audience members, he also had a hand from Lady Luck. One of these lucky hands was a runner-runner flush to put Silverman out of the tournament and give Kwaysser a 3 to 1 chip lead going into heads-up play and that's just a taste of the bad beats delivered by the Hungarian.

Regardless, Kwaysser negotiated his way through a 397-player field that featured poker pros Daniel Negreanu, Humberto Brenes, Victor Ramdin and Isabelle Mercier, TV personality Montel Williams and baseball greats David Wells and Orel Hershiser to take home only his second major tournament cash and his largest to date.

The next LAPT event takes place in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in August.
