(PRESS RELEASE) -- Kiwi Poker is giving its players the chance to fly to Australia where they will stay at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia and take a seat alongside the worlds best poker players at the 2007 Aussie Millions. One package worth $12,000 is guaranteed with another one put up for grabs for every additional 40 players in the super satellite.

The Crown Casino Aussie Millions is the richest poker tournament in the southern hemisphere, attracting the worlds best poker players and expected to generate a total prize pool in excess of AUD$5,000,000. The No Limit Hold'em finals take place between January 16 and 19 and Kiwi Poker is giving its players the chance to play in this prestigious televised event.

Online poker players at Kiwi Poker can either buy a seat directly into the super satellite on December 23 for $300 + $20 or qualify through Bi-Daily Multi Table Qualifiers and ongoing Sit 'n' Go tournaments; there are even satellites into these sub satellites, as well as third stage satellites into those. There are 2000 places available in this super satellite which means if it fills up there would be 50 Aussie Millions packages up for grabs, and the minimum number of players has already been met!

At the same time Kiwi Poker is offering its players the opportunity to win a package to the EPT's (European Poker Tour) 2007 Scandinavian Open including flights and accommodation worth $9000. The Scandinavian Open is held at the Casino Copenhagen in Denmark, with the No Limit Texas Hold'em finals taking place between January 17 -20.

Kiwi Poker is also giving its players three more chances to win a seat at the WPT (World Poker Tour) event of their choice worth $12,000, in their WPT "Pick Your Tournament" Super Satellites. Winners can choose between the World Poker Open held at the Gold Strike Casino in Tunica, Mississippi, or the LA Poker Classic and the Bay 101 both in California. The next super satellite takes place at 15:00 EST on December 3.

The international flavor of Kiwi Poker's satellite tournaments combined with the start time of their Aussie Millions super satellite reflects Kiwi Poker's commitment to cater to online poker players from all over the world and from different time zones.

In addition to regularly hosting satellites for WSOP, WPT and EPT events, Kiwi Poker's parent company, the land based Christchurch Casino, is home to the New Zealand Poker Champs, and this year two Kiwi Poker players took their seats alongside WOSP Champion Joe Hachem and current Aussie Millions champion Lee Nelson at the 2006 event.

On top of this Kiwi Poker also gives away thousands of dollars every day in guaranteed prize tournaments and freerolls including a weekly $20,000 tournament and two weekly $10,000 tournaments. They also pay out progressive jackpot prizes starting at $50,000 for consecutive wins in selected Sit n Go tournaments!
