He placed 225th and earned $3,441.

"I'm tempted to say that our party at the Palms was even more enjoyable than the actual event," added May. "All of our players got some of that trademark Everest Poker hospitality."

The thirty-nine players who made it to the WSOP Side Event received a gift bag loaded with Everest Poker swag and enjoyed a part at the world-famous Palms Hotel and Casino. In addition to free food and drinks, they also got some tantalizing hints about upcoming events such as the Everest Poker Avalanche finale and the Everest Poker European Cup.
