Monday 21st May 2007
Everest Poker has announced the launch of the inaugural Everest Poker Japan Cup.
Comprised of a series of online and live qualification events, the Everest Poker Japan Cup gives players the opportunity to compete live for a prize package worth $20,000.
'This is our first event designed exclusively for our Japanese players and we're making it very special,' said Jonathan May, Everest Poker property manager. 'Starting on 20 April 2007, we began hosting live qualifying events in the Tokyo area.'
Japanese players can participate in both the online and live qualifying events at no cost. Two online qualifiers will be held each month until August.
'That's when it gets interesting for our players,” said May. “The 30 qualifying players each receive a $1,400 prize package that includes travel and an entry fee to the final live event held on Tinian island.'
“The winner from the final event will walk away with a prize package worth $20,000 as well as those all-important bragging rights,” May added.
