Our lucky polish winner “Carnicero67″ is the King of the Ring winner for week 1:

His reaction:

“I have been waiting for the Promotion since you mentioned about its reactivation in the newsletter. This offer is a really good one for tournament players and I am one of them. Regarding league tourneys, I have not omitted a single one, fighting the whole week and collecting the points at every occasion. Luck was not with me during the entire time, but I was rather focused on long term success and was trying to make proper and wise decisions. The truth is that I had a lot of luck on the last day of the first week and I managed to win both of the Saturday tourneys! That automatically moved me from the 10th to 1st place and guaranteed me the victory with only less than 1 point over the player “hennie-hkb” within the weekly ranking.

Of course I am planning on playing next weeks and fight for the EVP belt. It would be an original trophy”

As State Considers Online Poker Regulation

Cambridge, MA — April 25, 2012 —The recent news that an Internet poker bill filed last week is gaining momentum in the Massachusetts Legislature is an ideal development for Everest Poker, the only European-facing online poker operator with an office in Massachusetts and a major U.S. footprint. Everest Poker is one of the only operators that declined to take bets from U.S. players after the UIGEA passed, and it now appears poised to benefit from that decision.

“Representative Daniel Winslow’s recent Internet poker amendment to the Massachusetts casino law is a very positive step forward for online operators, like Everest Poker, that have scrupulously respected United States law,” said Tim Dent, CEO of Everest Gaming. “The proposed bill rewards responsible European online poker operators and encourages local technology companies and, fortunately for us, Everest Poker is exactly both of those things. The bill presents Massachusetts with a great opportunity to be a pioneer in legalizing internet poker in the U.S., and there’s no question that Everest Poker is better positioned than any other operator to take advantage of that opportunity.”

Everest Poker communicated with Representative Winslow during the drafting process and believes the amendment strikes the proper balance between rigorous oversight and creating a sustainable market. If the amendment passes, Everest Poker is confident that it would avoid the types of business stifling policies currently seen in some regulated European markets.

LONDON, April 24th, 2012 — After a very successful first edition of King of the Ring early this year, Everest Poker is calling out the next round. Who will be the next King of the Ring and take home the Everest Poker winner belt?

For everybody who thinks they have what it takes to become a champion:
Everest Poker calls out to square off against fellow players for their share of $3,000 a week and the chance to become the next Everest Poker champion. The player who accumulates the most points by May 26 (5 weeks) will be crowned the King of the Ring and awarded with a genuine Everest Poker title belt.

Here’s how it works:
It is very easy: The registration code COMPETITOR needs to be entered in the bonus queue. Then players just have to compete in the nightly (except Sunday) King of the Ring tournaments called ’Rounds’. The top 10 players each week will win their share of a $3,000 prize pool. At the end of the promotion, the points from each Round will be totaled. The player with the most points is the champion.
The points used to rank players on the weekly Scorecard are calculated using our Leaderboard Points Calculator.

There a way to get to ‘The Rounds’ faster:
Players can participate in the Steps Sit & Go’s to earn their seat in either the so-called ‘Undercard Satellites’ or to win a spot in ‘The Rounds’. By entering the bonus code TRAINING when depositing $100 Everest Poker will credit players with a free Step 2 Ticket.
