Winner Takes All at Everest Poker
Mar 10, 2009By: Jeremy Olson As everyone already knows, the winner of a poker tournament always gets the biggest share of the tourney prize pool. Unfortunately for the winners, the biggest share is almost always well under 50% of the total prize pool. In many cases, the winner will end up taking less than 25% of the tournament money. That’s why people who always play poker tournaments with their sights set on first place need to head on over to Everest Poker to get in the Winner Takes All tourneys.
As the name suggests, these Winner Takes All tournaments award the winner with the entire prize pool. There is no consolation prize for finishing second or third place – only major money going to the first place finisher. And the best thing about the Everest Poker Winner Takes All tournaments is that you don’t have to wait long for the next one to happen.
That’s because a new Winner Takes All tourney starts at 15 minutes past the hour, every hour of the day. Each one of these tournaments will continue until the last person is left standing and you’ll have plenty of chances to participate. For instance, if you can’t get in a Winner Takes All tourney at 20:15 GMT, you can just jump in the one starting at 21:15 GMT.
Another great thing about these poker tournaments is that there are all kinds of buy-ins offered so people of varying bankrolls can get in. All you have to do to find the Winner Takes All tourney that suits your bankroll is check in the Everest Poker lobby for starting times. And remember to look under the Scheduled Events tab since this is where you will find all of the information about the tournaments. The Scheduled Events tab will also let you know whether the Winner Takes All tourney you’re looking at is a single rebuy, unlimited rebuy, or freeze out event.
And while you’re in the Scheduled Events tab, you might also want to look for chances to win Everest Poker European Cup (EPEC) prize packages. Everest Poker is allowing people to compete for these EPEC prize packages in various poker freerolls that they’re holding. Players from Europe only need to check the times and dates when their country will have a shot at winning these packages. Once the EPEC poker freeroll for your country is found, all you have to do is use 10 Summit Points to enter.
This is a very small price to pay for a shot at winning prize packages that are worth €1,100. And the EPEC prize packages will cover the €500 buy-in to this Sardinia-based, amateur freeroll poker tournament plus leave €600 for travel and expenses. So you basically have the chance to travel to lovely Sardinia and compete for €100,000 in prize money all for the low price of 10 Summit Points. And you could easily earn this amount of Summit Points by competing in a few Winner Takes All tournaments. The only thing you need to do is download Everest Poker.
