Live The Dream: The Jury

As Everest Poker’s Live The Dream competition, where ten real players will become poker pros & brand ambassadors for a year, nears its finale the selection panel can be revealed.

The chosen 200 will all now head to Palais Auersperg, Vienna (March 29-30) where they will have to impress our formidable international jury with both their poker skills and their personality.

Everest Poker has scoured the Continent and created a jury that have seen all facets of the poker world – the good, the bad and the ugly.

Everest Poker are proud to unveil their impartial, international team of selectors as:

Thomas Kremser. Thomas, 38, is one of the most respected faces in European poker, as well as overseeing the last two Everest Poker European Championships he is a regular European Poker Tour Tournament Director. A resident of Vienna, Thomas, has over 12 years experience in poker and his reputation means his decisions are never questioned!

Alberto Russo. Alberto, 31, is one of the founders of the Texas Hold'Em movement in Italy. He was Editor of the first Italian poker portal and then launched Card Player Italia as Editor-in-Chief. Recently, he has switched his attention to TV presenting and is a regular on EPT Live so he knows about both the game & presentation skills.

Bruno Fitoussi. Bruno, 49, has an incredible poker mind – beating the great Amarillo Slim in 2001 on his way to being crowned World Heads-Up Poker Champion and last year was 2nd in the $50,000 WSOP H.O.R.S.E Event. With nearly $2,000,000 of live tournament winnings to date he is respected far beyond his native France - so players beware - not much gets passed Bruno.

There will also be Everest Poker staff on the jury who will be constantly monitoring every aspect of the players behavior.
