Around 20 PWMC Poker Adjunct members made up the 263 players who traveled for the 2026 Clubs NZ North Island Poker Tournament. This years annual Kings Birthday Weekend event was hosted by Hamilton Workingmen's Club

Well done to Peter Dorne, Barry Cuneen, Jack Efaraimo, Peter Daniel, Bryce Luey, Jo French and Tony Grant who survived Day 1 and started Day 2 of the Main Event.

No one likes to bubble and this year that dubious honour goes to last years Consolation Game bubble, Barry Cuneen. Luckily a bubble deal had been brokered so he didn't come away completely empty handed.

Peter Dorne keeps our game running every Thursday night. Being a poker TD / admin can sometimes be a thankless task but Pete turns up every week and does a great job of organising games and our groups trips away.

Not only was Peter last Petone Working Men's Club Poker HQ player standing, when he outlasted UpperHutt CossieClub Aces High member, Pauline Harwood, he was the last Wellingtonian standing. Finishing 12th is not an easy feat in these games, that can be long days with the amount of players involved. Well done Pete on your 12th place cash finish.

Thanks to Hamilton WMC Poker for a well run event. Bryce Tinkler and his team did a fantastic job especially after the sad events of Friday night.

We can't wait to head to Manurewa Cossie Club next year.

And that's the 2026 Premier Deepstack all wrapped up for another year.
To those who travelled to our game, thank you so much for coming and supporting our game. Our whanau came from near and far - our usuals from the Wairarapa, the Manawatu, the Hawkes Bay, Gisborne, Bay of Plenty, Nelson and the West Coast of the South Island and our old and new friends from Auckland.
Thanks also to those that run satellites for our events; it's important that players get the opportunity to get into these bigger buyin games at a cheaper price point.
To our locals, thank you also for supporting this game. It's always lovely to see the familiar across the tables.
Thank you to the staff at the Petone Working Men's Club. It has been a busy weekend and all departments stepped up and took on their challenges in the best possible ways.
Well done to all those players who cashed over the weekend. Congratulations to Auckland's Gary Adamson who won The Welcome Game on Friday night and to The Hawke's Bays Chris Jenkins, who after Final tabling the Main Event, took out The Bounty Game this afternoon.
But our biggest congratulations go to Carolyn Henare who beat out 103 runners to win the 2026 Premier Deepstack. It will be nice to have a women's name on the trophy.
That's it from us here at Poker HQ. We've loved hosting you and can't wait to do it all again at Labour Weekend for the UPW (Ultimate Poker Weekend).
- Dave, Vicky, Duane, Jo and Karen

We started with 104 runners at 10am on Saturday morning, then restarted with the Final 18 this morning at 10am. Auckland's Ahmet Ikanovic and local lad Frankie Jayto had the lions share of the chips. Jayto made short(ish) work of the small stacks on Table 1 while chips were being shared around on Table 2.

By 1130 we had a Final Table of 9 featuring last years PDS Champion Sam Clark, last years UPW Champion Andrew Tyler and the big stack of Franky Jayto.

Even though everyone played great and Jayto played admirably, he was no match to the chat and amazingly awesome cards of Gisborne's Carolyn Henare.

Not only does Henare become the first female name emblazoned on the Premier Deepstack Trophy, she is the first female to have her name on any PWMC Poker HQ Trophy.

Biggest congratulation Carolyn Henare on winning this years Premier Deepstack.
