PokerStars announces ANZPT Season 2 tournament schedule
- 12-16-2009
The PokerStars.net Australia New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT) has announced the schedule of events for its second season, set to kick off on February 9 in Adelaide, Australia. The second stop in the PokerStars.net ANZPT will take place in Perth, Australia, from March 17th to 21st. The ANZPT Season 2 will hold a tournament in Sydney before moving to New Zealand for two events scheduled July 17-25, and August 11-15, 2010 in Queenstown and Gold Coast. The ANZPT Season 2 will close in Australia with the ANZPT Melbourne running at the Crown Casino from October 8-11, 2010.
The inaugural PokerStars ANZPT was launched in February 2009, and was well received by poker players in both Australia and New Zealand, registering a total of 1,309 players, and awarding $2,982,196 in prize money throughout five events.
PokerStars.net will offer players nightly freerolls from Monday to Saturday, with the top players qualifying for a weekly Sunday Stage 2 final. The top ten players from each Sunday final will then go on to play for a package to ANZPT Adelaide which includes the $3,000 AUD Main Event buy-in, seven nights' accommodation at the InterContinental hotel, a selection of tourist outings such as a Barossa Valley Wine Tour and $500 for travel expenses.
"The ANZPT provides Australian and New Zealand poker players with a professionally-executed tour in their own backyard. The ANZPT Player of the Year is now clearly the most coveted poker award in this region. It provides the opportunity for poker players to prove their skills consistently over time, enjoy great experiences playing across Australia and New Zealand, and gain the big prize – a valuable sponsorship with Poker Stars." said ANZPT Commissioner Danny McDonagh.
