Daan Slutter Returns to the Tournament Scene!

Daan Slutter took a brief break from live tournaments after his success this summer at the WSOP winning $8,855 in Event 48 and $23,160 at the Main Event.

But he was back in the hot seat last Friday (August 29th) at the Summer Classics in Amsterdam.

Inevitably, after playing the best of the best at the WSOP Daan was confident entering the tournament, a 200€ 6-handed rebuy.

However, fortune did not favour the confident and he was quickly busted out when Peter Dalhuijsen took a gamble against him and called pre-flop with only 8-5! Daan was sitting pretty with 77 but Lady Luck went against Daan and the odds.

Look for Daan next at the WPT Niagara Falls on the 10th of October.

Heads Up Challenge: Think You're Hard Enough?

For those that like it head-on we have a brand new challenge for you:

The Everest Poker Heads-Up Challenge pits our top tournament players against one another in a series of heads-up tournaments...with a $20,000 prizepool.

Qualifying is simple. All you have to do is finish in the top 32 in at least one of our Tournament Leaderboards for the month of July, and you're automatically qualified for the Heads-Up Tournament Challenge. Our three Tournament Leaderboards (TLBs) are:

Sit & Go LowMulti-TableSit & Go High

We have created a bracket tournament (similar to a tennis tournament) for each of our Tournament Leaderboards. The top 32 finishers from each of July's Tournament Leaderboards will be entered into the respective bracket and seeded according to their finish. For instance, the #1 finisher in July's Sit & Go High TLB will be the #1 seed in the Sit & Go High Bracket.

Oldest card shark in town takes crown

After much research we are delighted to announce that Cayetano Garcia, at 75 years old, is the oldest person ever to win a major poker tournament in Europe. On Sunday (July 20) Cayetano made poker history at the final table by making the Spanish Poker Tour, presented by Everest Poker, in Valencia his own.

Cayetano brushed aside his more youthful rivals over a great weekend of poker and in a gesture of typical understatement the final trio made an agreement to share the second and third places (€19,500 each) with the winner taking €26,500 back to Alicante.
