EPEC Prize Packages are Free at Everest Poker
Mar 1, 2009By: Jeremy Olson Most people in the world would love the opportunity to go to a fabulous destination and win lots of money through a poker tournament prize package. Unfortunately, these prize packages cost money since players have to buy into satellites and qualifiers in order to win them. Depending on what prize package you’re trying to win, the buy-ins can range from €100 all the way up to €1,000 to get into main events. And this doesn’t even guarantee that you’ll win anything either!
But at Everest Poker, you can have the chance to win a prize package for an excellent poker tournament absolutely free. All you have to do is sign up at Everest and you’ll instantly be eligible to win a prize package to the Everest Poker European Cup (EPEC) in the Mediterranean paradise of Sardinia.
The EPEC will give out €100,000 in an amateur poker player freeroll during the Live Finale of the tournament. 200 players will win seats in the EPEC Live Finale and get to stay at the luxurious Chia Laguna Resort through €1,100 prize packages. These €1,100 prize packages include the Live Finale buy-in of €500, €300 of hotel accommodations, and €300 for travel expenses. The Live Finale takes place on May 9th and May 10th so you’ll want to hurry and get in the freerolls for this event.
The freerolls which allow players to win EPEC prize packages occur on different days depending on what country you’re from. All you need to do to enter the freerolls is 10 Summit Points which is hardly anything at all considering what you could win. Here is the breakdown of when the qualifiers and satellites happen for each country:
• All of Europe will play satellites on Fridays and Sundays from now until March 29th with 250 Online Qualifier seats available per satellite. The Online Qualifier for the EPEC happens on April 3rd and 15 Live Finale seats will be given out in this.
