PokerStars brought poker fans a new poker tour this year called the Australia and New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT). The new tour kicked off in February in Adelaide and since then has gone to Sydney and Melbourne with another stop scheduled for July in Queenstown. PokerStars has now released information on the fifth and final leg of the ANZPT which will take place in Queensland.
The end of the ANZPT will take place in Queensland in early August beginning on the 5th and continuing until the 9th. The Queensland tournament will have a unique format as it will take place at two different venues, the Conrad Jupiters and Conrad Treasury.
The tournament will be capped at 280 players as well as 20 alternates. At each venue two day one flights will take place and the schedule, breaks and announcements will be synchronized. On day three all the players will come together from both venues. Players from the Conrad Treasury in Brisbane will be transferred to Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast.
The Queensland tournament will have a buy-in of $2,500 and no fee will be charged. So every dollar of the buy-in will go toward the prize pool so the players competing will be able to earn the most they can.
PokerStar will now begin running satellites so online players can compete to win packages to the Queensland tournament. Players should check at PokerStars tournament lobby for upcoming details on the satellites offered at the online poker room.
