Final Table Player Profile Seat 3: Nacho Barbero
One of the undisputed superstars of Latin American poker, and a three-time champion on the LAPT, Jose Ignacio ��Nacho�� Barbero will return to the top of the Argentinian money list with a fifth-place finish or better in the PSPC.
Barbero spent many years on the roster of Team PokerStars Pro, which included a sensational run in 2010 when he won back-to-back LAPT tournaments in Uruguay and Peru, sandwiching victory on the French Poker Series. Later that year, he also won an EPT High Roller, for his biggest career score.
Now 40, Barbero is a pro of many years standing and has lost none of his appetite for the game. He won his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet last summer in Las Vegas, and says he actually spends most of the year there these days, playing mainly cash games. He also says he lost a huge portion of his net worth in some of the recent cryptocurrency scandals, but has returned to poker with a vengeance and is rapidly working on getting everything back.
