With satellites being held every week at the auckland casino, look for a good number of local players to compete against the many visiting "so called" pros.

Hey all, I have recently won an APPT main event ticket at the Skycity super-sunday MTT, but unfortunately will be overseas when it starts. Therefore, I am selling the ticket, if anyone is interested please leave a message here.

Hey there, Anonymous 1. I could not find Tony :(. Therefore, I am still selling my ticket.
I am trying to sell my ticket as soon as possible as I will definitely not be in New Zealand when the main event starts.
To make this an open process, I have list the details on trademe at http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/Other/auction-176783267.htm
Any questions please leave a message here or on trade me.
Thanks a bunch :)
Note. I never imagine I would ask people around to buy my ticket, I guess this is my new low for my poker career :P
Thanks for the support again :)
Donkey-attack these so called world class poker stars!
Bluff Joe Hachem! He is capable of laying down a straight with 53. He thinks he is a world class poker star so he can make world class lay downs.
Funny that, he doesn't think he is a world champion, he actually is one.
Ive looked at the schedule and it makes no mention of the appt at all. Is the festival main event the same thing?
Yeah it is. Not playing, (too poor +born again Christian so have stopped gambling) but it could be a really fun event to watch.
