Our trip to Melbourne

5 of us Kiwi Poker League players traveled over to Melbourne last weekend to play in the $100,000 tournament.. it was exciting and heaps of fun.. the event was held over two days with long blind levels and very tough competition.. unfortunately this this the Aussies cleaned us all up on the first day :( but there was a lot more poker to be played in the side games where some of the boys where able to seek revenge against our Aussie rivals.. I can't wait till the next Aussie trip toward the end of the year with more of you Kiwi poker League players.. will it be you? come along to some of our weekly events and play for the chance to win a trip over to Aussie to play for BIG CASH prizes!

Here's how points this year is going to work!

MORE BIG TOURNAMENTS

MORE PRIZES

MORE TRIPS TO AUSTRALIA

EVERY REGIONAL FINAL TWO PLAYERS WILL NOW GO TO AUSTRALIA TO PLAY FOR CASH!

1st place prize for the regional final will still be a trip to Australia but this time you are going to the Crown Casino in Melbourne and you will be playing a tournament with a $20,000 cash prize pool. (Prize includes, Flights, accommodation and entry fee to available tournament.) 2nd place = $200 3rd place = $150 4th place = $100 5th place =$50 (2nd-5th prizes based on a $500 pool) To gain entry to the regionals you need to score in the top 6 with points at your venue

The other lucky player to win the trip to Aussie will be one of the top point scorers of the season.

The top player with the most points from each venue at the end of the season will be invited to compete in a winner takes all bonus tournament on the same day as the regional final. He or she will play a knock out tournament where first place is a trip to Aussie's crown casino! (and as an added bonus the player with the most total points for the season overall will receive an extra $1000 chip to start the winner takes all game with) *Throughout the year KPL will be looking for sponsorship so note extra prizes are likely to be added on top of the main prizes

Another new change to the KPL structure is: seasons will be slightly longer (3months) but in between main event regionals that are held in Dunedin there will be bonus monthly mini regionals held away from Dunedin!

so the last weekend of each month there will be a big tournament with cash prizes and every 3 months there will be a main event regional with 2 trips to Aussie up for grabs!
