In a couple of hours the Main Event ($2,100 buy-in) of APPT Auckland, New Zealand, kicks off. Some of the notable players that already have signed up for the Main Event are Team Australia PokerStars pros Grant Levy, Eric Assadourian, Emad Tahtouh and Tony Hachem.
This is the second event of 2009 PokerStars Asia Pacific Tour, and the APPT crew believes that it will be a very successful tournament this year as well as last year when 306 players entered the main event and Daniel Craker won the first place prize $257,040.
