The promotion, called the $1 Million Match, means that all players who qualify via Everest have a chance
to make some extra money, even if they are knocked out early on Day 1. For example, if 100 players were to earn their WSOP Main Event seats through Everest, and among those a dozen players cashed for a combined total of $500,000, Everest would then match that $500,000 by awarding each of the 100 players $5,000 each.
According to Sondre Wasses, Nordic Regional Manager of Everest Gaming, the site made an effort last year -- the site's first year as a WSOP official sponsor -- to encourage more European players to go to the World Series. "This year," says Wasses, "we want to reward that loyalty by offering a knock-out reason to qualify with us. This bonus gives everybody hope of winning something even if they are out early." An extra benefit, says Wasses, will be "an added sense of camaraderie to all those [who] qualified with us."
There are many ways to qualify for the WSOP via Everest Poker, some for as little as $3. Check out Everest Poker for information about the Steps sit-'n'-gos and other scheduled tournaments. [Note: Promotion not available to US residents.]
