Auckland Skycity casino, will again be running their end of month satellite to the Festival of Poker Main event, this sunday Sept 28.

With a $550 tournament buyin, entrants have a 1 in 6 chance of getting a Main Event ticket to the APPT Auckland main event. With the "high quality" of skycity poker players, this seems the best way of getting in cheaply.

Auckland Skycity has released a tournament schedule here for the Auckland leg of the Asian Pacific Poker Tour.
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.
