Hi, don't know much about lsop. its being put together by CRIS and its in martino resort near airport, kinda in middle of nowhere. should be ok.
there is another CR tourney before that, called the WPS Costa Rica Poker Showdown in Jaco Nov 5-15 at the Amapola Hotel in the Jazz Casino. Info can be found on www.worldpokershowdown.com, and its much better location for poker tournament, not being stuck in middle of nowhere like LSOP.
They're running satellites for weekend hotel/tourney buy in packages at Clarion on Saturday at 3pm. Website should have all info, but if u need more, feel free to message me as I'm involved with WPS.
Hotel Martino, ive been there before, weather is excellent around there, great food, nice pool, and they give you the best massages ever, only problem is that the happy endings are not included, it should be awesome if enoogh people shows up there
