Poker in 2011

Casino Canberra is planning a big year for Poker in 2011. Commencing in January, we are planning our traditional Thursday night tournaments plus introducing Tuesday Hold-em Lightning Satellites in January and February to enter players in the Sydney ANZPT. In March, April and May, the Lightning Satellites will propel the winners into the ANZPT Super Satellites held each month to give players entry into the Canberra ANZPT Tournament over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend. According to Casino Canberra's Tables Manager, this will be four days of full-on Poker.

We think everyone will be exhausted by the end of that so we are planing a break from tournaments for July but, in August, they are back with Thursday Poker tournaments and Tuesday Lightening Satellites and tournament. In September and October, the Lightning Satellites on Tuesday could win you entry in to the end of month Super Satellites that could then win you entry in to the November End of Year Tournament held over the weekend of 26 and 27 November. Casino Canberra will also run a Team Tournament on 28 November.

That just leaves December where we are planning 10 Team Satellites culminating in the Christmas Team Hold-em Tournament on 17 December.

At this stage all tournaments are dependent on Government approval but if we have all their plans approved, it will be a big year for Poker at Casino Canberra.
