![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
For five seasons the PokerStars.net Australia New Zealand Poker Tour has been thrilling poker fans from all around the region and now it’s time for the sixth season to begin!
We are here at SKYCITY Auckland Casino in beautiful New Zealand for ANZPT Auckland – the first stop on the new season of the popular tour.
The event costs NZ$2,200 to enter and today we will see an eclectic mix of local satellite qualifiers and some of the best players from around Australia, Asia and of course, New Zealand.
Last year this event was won by Geoff Smith in what was an extremely quick final table of just over three hours. We have long way to go before we are there again this year, but the excitement is steadily building. There were 207 players in last year's tournament and this year we expect a few more to hit the tables.
Today is the first of three Day 1 flights and we will be here all day long bringing you the live updates, so make sure to keep refreshing PokerNews. All the action begins at 12.30pm local time.
