2026 NLHC Turbo — NZ$550 No Limit Hold'em
3 Dec 2026 · Christchurch Casino, New Zealand
The opening event of Christchurch Casino's 2026 championship week, played in a single day on Thursday 3 December. The buy-in is NZ$550, of which NZ$500 goes to the prize pool and NZ$50 is the entry fee, and it buys a 25,000 starting stack. Cards are in the air at 12.30pm.
One re-entry is permitted, and the window closes at the end of the second break — before level 13. A turbo structure with a stack that size means the re-entry decision tends to arrive quickly, so it is worth deciding in advance whether the second bullet is part of the plan. No prize-pool guarantee has been published.
