Everest Poker names tournament location

MONTREAL, Quebec -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Everest Poker today announced the final location of its months-long Everest Poker Avalanche tournament. The Everest Poker Avalanche, a $1,000,000 guaranteed hold 'em poker tournament that began several months ago, will reach its climax aboard a cruise ship in the Mediterranean.

"We really wanted to make the last round of the game special, and this certainly fits the bill," said Jonathan May, Everest Poker's property manager. "I can't imagine a better way to finish a long tournament like this.

The 10 players and their guests will cruise in style from Athens, Greece to Turkey, stopping at islands such as Mykonos and Rhodes. The final table will be played in the casino on board, which has been reserved solely for this event. The final winner of the Avalanche tournament is guaranteed at least $200,000.

Spanning nine months, the Everest Poker Avalanche involves both online play as well as live poker games. The tournament features a three-round structure that allows players at all levels to join in. Round 1 satellites are designed for players looking for little up-front risk: buy-ins are $3+.30 or $11+1. Round 2 satellites are ideal for players that are more confident in their ability and wish to save time - the buy-in is $56+5.

For players with big bankrolls that want to skip right to the top, Everest Poker is offering two choices: monthly Round 3 satellite events such as the event being held on 30 June, 2007 with a $530+30 buy-in as well as direct entrance to the Online Avalanche Finale for $5000+300. The Avalanche Online Final will be held on September 15, 2007, at 15:00 GMT, and will stop when ten players remain. These ten finalists will win a trip to play the live final table on our Mediterranean cruise, where their share of $1 million awaits them.
