GERMAN POKER TOUR A SUCCESS
BODY:
PR Newswire reports that over 200 German poker players from throughout
Germany participated during September and October in the first
German Poker Tour, sponsored by Ultra Internet Media's Everest
Poker.
Everest Poker, which claims to be the first online poker room
fully translated into German, sponsored 5 live tournaments across
Germany featuring prizes worth over Euro 4,000. The finale was
held in the Kalsruhe area last week, awarding the top 5 winners
with prizes.
The tournaments were organised by the founder of the GPA, Horst
Koch in collaboration with Everest management.
Qualifying tournaments
took place throughout September 2005 in four selected German cities:
Munich, Landau (Karlsruhe), St. Augustin (Cologne), and Berlin,
with 16 players qualifying for the finale, also held in Landau.
The GPA was founded in 1996 and is the only poker association
in Germany.
"No distance is too far for a poker final with Horst Koch
and Everest Poker" comments Dr. hc. Fischer, who drove cross-country
from Berlin to Landau to attend the German Poker Tour final: "It's
totally worth it for an exciting game and good prizes!"
Each qualifying tournament was played in "shootout"
style, with the winner of each table advancing to the final table
of the night. Up to 12 of these shootout rounds were played in
each tournament, resulting in play throughout the night. The winners
of each qualifying tournament
received not only a seat in the final, but also prizes courtesy
of Everest Poker.
