We listened to our player feedback, and created an even better tournament for 2008. The guarantee will still be $1,000,000, but with an improved qualification structure we’ll give a better chance for more players to qualify.

What’s unchanged from last year is the fabulous finale: the last 10 players – plus 1 guest each – will be flown to play the final table live. A free vacation weekend plus a share of $1,000,000 – what could be better?

How to qualify:

The satellites will start on Jan 1st, the first round 3 will be play on Jan 8th.

Good luck to all!!

Everest Poker pro, Cristiano Blanco, made the money for the second time this year in an EPT event. Cristiano managed second in Dortmund earlier in the year and at EPT Prague he was again in the money but not nearly as high this time round!

He busted out in 38th place with 8,800 euros to his name after raising with a suited AK and his opponent going all in with AT. Cristiano called but, sadly, for our man, the T came on the flop.

Everest Poker pro, Cristiano Blanco, was chip leader for a while in Day 1b yesterday and is still in a handy position going into the start of day two.

Cristiano is sitting on 39,700 chips - above the day two starting average of 28,000.

Also still in is the Everest Poker Avalanche winner from Germany Frank Stumpf (pictured).

After one of the biggest horse races of the season in the UK - The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup - the great & good of racing gathered in East Garston, Royal Berskshire, to thrash out who is racing's best poker player. The tournament, sponsored by Everest Poker, saw forty players including Andy 'Re-Buy' Balding, Jamie Osbourne & the favourite Sylvester Kirk settle down to business under the glare of tournament director Roy Houghton who came down from London's famous Loose Cannon Club.

At 3am racing PR supremo Johnno Spence took the trophy as well as a few more dollars in his Everest Poker account.

Italian maestro & Everest Poker pro Cristiano Blanco yesterday played in a celebrity Sit n Go for the cameras of Italia Uno & Sky Sports. Joining him at the table were; model Samantha De Grenet, ex-skiing legend Alberto Tomba & football player Beppe Signori.

...as for the result - I'm afraid you'll have to wait & see in next month's broadcast.

Italian Model Samantha de Grenet (pictured) took on the boys & Everest's Cristiano Blanco in a star studded, TV Sit n Go to be broadcast next month.

7 players was on the starting line up of this day 2.
Dutch:
Oosterom, 18400.
Kurstjens 1525.
Jaspers, 38700.
French:
Martin, 11525.
Fortunat, 16750.
Swiss:
Zimmerman, 16125 (second time mcop qualifier with us).
Italian:
Lascialfari, 10425.

The average was already high and they had to fight to survive. Unfortunatly the day wasn't so good for them and they are almost all out.

Only Joris Jaspers (FATIMA1972) is still here at the end of the day.

With only 23,800 chips and an average around 70,000 it will be difficult for him but not impossible to get into the money.

He lost 45th in London EPT for the first 32 in the money.

We all hope that he will do it now!!!
