Everest Poker's Live The Dream is Back

September 18, 2009

September 21st sees Everest Poker launch the second installment of their most popular promotion ever, Live The Dream. Live The Dream offers 10 real poker players the chance to become sponsored professionals for a year with the chosen 10 travelling the world, playing in the biggest events and a $100,000 sponsorship deal to their name.

Everest Poker does not sponsor big name players but instead invests in their own players, allowing them to develop and become professionals on the world stage in their own right. Last year saw three of the Live The Dream become established members of the world poker circuit and as a result they were promoted to full members of Team Everest.

As with last year the best 200 players will come for a live final at the Palais Auersberg in Vienna in January for a weekend of poker and the unveiling of the final 10.

The 10 Live The Dream winners will represent Everest Poker at the best tournaments in the world, including the World Series of Poker Main Event as well as over $30,000 in traveling expenses. The package totals $100,000 for each player offering potential winnings of over $1 billion!

This year players can qualify in three different ways: (i) via tournament and Sit 'n Go leader boards: (ii) cash game leader boards, and: (iii) direct entry. This way we are giving all types of players a fair shot at getting to the finale. Qualifications are running weekly from September 21st.

At the final itself players will be measured on a total of 100 points: 55 points for poker skills, 25 points will be given by the Everest Poker player community and the last 20 will be allocated by our jury based on live interviews in Vienna.
