Count me in. This is the best non-casino series of tourneys in NSW. The buyins are small but the tourneys always make for a good time and the crew at Aussie Holdem run a good show!

Shame some Sydney company cant do something similar. Looks really good.

newcastle is only a short drive down the freeway, plus if your interested we have lined up a local motel to look after npc players with special rates, feel free to contact me for more info

Got family commitments in 400km's the other direction sadly enough dont think the newcastle champs would be a good enough reason to explain to my family to miss my grand dads 80th!
