The Festival of Poker gets underway today at the Sky City Casino in Auckland where some of the biggest names in the game will be betting and bluffing their way through what is fast becoming a regular event on the poker community calendar. The tournament is taking New Zealand by storm due in the main to the $1 million bounty on offer – the largest poker jackpot in the history of New Zealand poker.
The event will start with a single table, moving onto a number of multi-table satellite tournaments all leading up to the 3 day main event which is where the big bucks will be on offer. Sky City is fast becoming the dominant player in Australasia, at a time when competitors are dropping like flies it seems as though Sky City has the golden touch.
This Festival of Poker is just the latest in a number of events around the world which have brought poker to the attention of the masses. Poker communities are popping up in every corner of the globe and they will all be back online very soon if the lifting of the US online poker ban is lifted.
