"All of us here at Everest Poker were very excited about the WPT Championship," said Jonathan May, Everest Poker's Property Manager. "We were all closely following the daily action, and we're very proud of the way go-juge played. This is the strongest showing an Everest Poker player has ever put in at a major live gambling tournament. Going home with almost $44,000 after winning a $5+$.50 rebuy tournament isn't too shabby at all!" | |
