TEN TO LIVE THE DREAM
15 January 2010
Everest wraps up a million dollar promo
Ten Everest Poker players were celebrating in Vienna
this week, and with good cause; they are the
beneficiaries of major sponsorships worth $100 000
apiece in the company's imaginative "Live the Dream"
marketing initiative, which came to a close in the
romantic Austrian city.
The promo attracted over
50 000 international players, a spokesman confirmed,
explaining that entrants participated in online
qualifiers from September to December 2009 with two
hundred surviving to compete in the final live event at
the Palais Auersperg over January 9-10. These 200
players then had to impress judges through an exhaustive
series of measures designed to evaluate individual live
and online poker skills and personal qualities suitable
for the honour of being a brand ambassador for the
company.
Only ten of the 200 could be picked, and
a spokesman said that it was a difficult choice that had
finally produced a list of:
* Fabien "SchumyFab"
Perrot * Leonard "leoledingo" Truche * Julien
"Garrincho54" Claudepierre * Ronny "Spadesman"
Pickard * Tobias "Tobestar11" Wagner * Koen "koendb"
de Bakker * Javier "elflacokanu" Martinez * Sigurd
"TheBigViking" Eskeland * Thomas "DannyMcCoy" Froslev
* Viktoria "SexyGirl" Szlasi
This exclusive
player group will now represent Everest Poker at the
biggest tournaments in the world over the next 12 months
including the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event,
with $30 000 travel packages and $100 000 each for
expenses and buy-ins.
