With this being New Zealand's largest ever poker tournament, players have been drawn in from all over the world to participate. Out of the 306 entrants playing in this year's Main Event, there are at least 20 different countries represented.
The homeland of New Zealand boasts the most competitors with over 150 and over 50 other players came from just across the water in Australia. There are also bunches of players representing Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Singapore, United Kingdom, and United States. With the majority of the field coming from New Zealand, there's a good chance the title will remain on the home turf, but surely each player is gunning for first place!
