|
The inaugural edition of the Asia Pacific Poker Tour Auckland will begin tomorrow, Oct. 9 and run through Oct. 12 at the SKYCITY Casino in Auckland, New Zealand. The main event features a buy-in of $3,000 NZD, and it will most likely be the largest prize pool in New Zealand tournament poker history. There will also be a $10,000 NZD high-rollers event on Oct. 11.
“Tournament poker is booming in New Zealand at the moment,” said Team PokerStars pro and 2006 Aussie Millions champion Lee Nelson, “and I look forward to seeing how the local talent measures up against the international poker stars coming to Auckland. This tournament will do great things for the sport in my country.”
In addition to Nelson, the event will also feature Team PokerStars pros and former world champions Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, and Joe Hachem.
