SkyCity Auckland Poker Room - October 2026 fixtures
3 – 31 Oct 2026 · SkyCity Auckland Poker Room, New Zealand
SkyCity Auckland's poker room publishes a rolling monthly fixture list rather than a single festival. October 2026 is built around a $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em double re-entry event on 25 October, fed by $125 turbo satellites with re-buys and add-ons every Saturday through the month.
The rest of the card is a weekly $250 freezeout on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm, a $400 bounty double re-entry on 26 October and a $550 double re-entry closing the month on 31 October. Events are mostly No-Limit Hold'em played with a big blind ante and a shot clock, and late registration, re-buys and re-entries apply on selected fixtures only.
Tournaments are open to SHOW by SkyCity and Premier Rewards card holders, so signing up to the card scheme is a prerequisite rather than an optional extra.
