You have probably heard about the Live The Dream promotion from leading online poker room Everest Poker before.  Well they have just launched their second instalment of this promotion which is great.  They are offering everyday ordinary online poker players the chance to win a year’s sponsorship. What this means is that these players get a chance to become professional sponsored poker players for a full year.

The Live the Dream promotion is offering ten players a once in a lifetime prize.  These ten players will get to travel the world and play in some of the biggest poker events in the world.  That’s not all; they also get a $100,000 sponsorship deal too.

Everest Poker has revealed that the ten lucky winners would represent Everest Poker in the main event of the World Series of Poker and they would receive over $30,000 in travelling expenses.

Everest Poker do not actually sponsor any big names in poker and instead what they do is invest in their own players by allowing them to become professionals.  This special promotion took place last year too and three of their winners from last year have actually gone on to become established players in the poker world.

Last year’s promotion saw 10 winners crowned out of a field of 200 players who competed in a live final in Vienna over an entire weekend.  This year players are being given three different ways to qualify for the promotional event that will take place in 2010.  The first way to qualify is to finish at the top of the Everest Poker’s tournament and sit and go leaders boards.  The second way is to be on top of the Everest Poker’s cash games leader board, and the third way is to purchase a direct entry.

In the final all players will be judged out of a total score of 100 points.  Players will be able to get 55 points for their individual poker skills, 25 from the player community, and the final 20 will be up to the jury who will give these points based on interviews that will be conducted on Vienna.

All and all, it will be a very exciting affair and if the prize of a year’s sponsorship is something you would like then why not logon to the Everest Poker websites to find out all the information you need.

Until next time,

Gamble Wisely
