Disappointing WSOP Main Event satellite at Auckland Skycity

After running two successful tournaments these past two years, the Auckland casino definitely dropped the ball on this one. With an increase in the entry fee and poorly run satellites, only 14 entrants showed up to play.
With the lack of numbers in this event, it was agreed upon amongst the players to play for a cash prize instead of a trip to play in this years WSOP Main Event, held in Las Vegas. And in the end it was Kevin Clark who outlasted everyone and received $12k for first place.
I suggest anyone wanting to go to Vegas, your best bet is to try and qualify online for the WSOP Main Event.
