![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to The Star in Sydney for the first stop on season four of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour.
Players have been frantically satelliting their way into the ANZPT Sydney Main Event for weeks and for those who couldn’t snag a seat; it will be $2,200 to enter.
A large field of entrants is expected for tonight’s Day 1a flight and we are excited to see just how many players will take to the felt this evening.
It’s looking very likely that this year’s numbers will easily surpass the 393 players who participated in the season three ANZPT Sydney event, while it is 494 players from season one which will be the number to beat.
Last year it was Michael Kanaan who emerged as the ANZPT Sydney champion, with his victory worth a handy $195,714. Only one player will be able to join Kanaan in the record books and tonight the journey toward crowning a champion will begin, so sit back and enjoy the coverage as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on the floor from 6:10 pm local time.
