The event was hosted at the Orion Piggs Peak Hotel and Casino, in Swaziland on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th May 2006.
The top 10 players shared a prize pool of R2, 250,000, and the top 5 players each walked away with a package to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas worth R100, 000.
This is the first time that South Africans have been sponsored by the Casino to attend the WSOP in Las Vegas. This group of players greatly added to the level of excitement and play at the most recent All Africa which took place between 18th–20th August 2006.
