The top card sharks in Australasia will flock to Auckland over the next nine days hoping to turn a little into a lot at Sky City's Festival of Poker (FOP) series.
The FOP offers ten side events ranging from $50 to $1100 buy-in and culminates in a $1650 buy-in main event that is expected to generate a prize pool of over $310,000.
The nine-day tournament begins on Saturday 19 November with the main event held from 24-27 November.
SKy City Auckland Table Games Manager Radha Vellanki said she is looking forward to hosting players from across Australasia at the highly-anticipated tournament.
"The Sky City Festival of Poker always delivers an exciting showcase of some of the best New Zealand poker being played and the atmosphere is electric at the main event," said Vellanki. "Five of the last seven main event winners have been Kiwi players, so we encourage great local players to register to compete."
