This week marks the beginning of Season 7 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour. It��s hard to believe Australia��s premier regional tour has been around since 2009, but here we are in 2015 getting ready for another great year of events.
The first series of the season is ANZPT Perth which takes place at the Crown Casino in Western Australia. This beautiful gaming property is the sister casino of the popular Crown Melbourne which is home of the Aussie Millions.
The buy-in has increased slightly this year with players now ponying up $2,300 to take to the felt of ANZPT Perth. There are two Day 1 flights on offer, the first beginning at 7:00pm (GMT +8) local time on Wednesday evening and the second from 12:30pm local time on Thursday.
Last year��s ANZPT Perth Main Event featured a field of 256 players and a prize pool of $516,000. It was the USA��s Patrick Mahoney who picked up the largest slice of that money as he claimed the title after overcoming a tough final table including Dean Blatt and WSOP APAC champion Scott Davies.
To find out who joins Mahoney as the next ANZPT Perth champion be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews all week long. The exciting conclusion of this event will occur this Sunday evening local time, while our coverage begins with Day 1a kicking off tonight at 7:00pm.
