Exchange Rate If you're curious, the entry fee of 5000 NZD is about $6828 US Dollars. First place is $136,575 USD.
What a deal Hell now that I know about the exchange rate it makes the $2,900 for airfare and 22 hour trip (from Dallas) look even better....LOL Gee I wonder if they offer re-buys as well?.....LOL
Here you go Tournament limited to 30 players, held at Sky City casino in Auckland on 21st of May. Hope this helps.
