Good luck everyone and see you in Vienna!
We regret to inform all our players that the next 3 Länder Poker Tour stop planned for October 21–25 in Hamburg has been canceled. Event host Spielbank Hamburg sent notice to 3LT organizers this week about the city of Hamburg’s refusal to approve the tournament—forcing the organization to cancel the Casino Esplanade event.
Everest Poker acknowledges the decision by the authorities. Players who already qualified for the 3LT Hamburg stop can either play the finale in Vienna or cash out their token.
The 3LT just wrapped up a successful stop at Warnemünde Beach in northern Germany last month. With the 3LT Hamburg now canceled, the Grand Finale at the Montesino Pokertainment Center in Vienna will be the tour’s next and final stop.
Online qualifiers for the December 8–11 event are running online at Everest Poker now. You can be a part of live streaming from the tables, fun activities and a Main Event with €500,000 guaranteed.
We hope to see you in Vienna,
The Everest Poker Team

The players are on dinner break now. (The live stream has a delay.) Fabrice Soulier is playing a stack just below average; 1.9M. The remaining players will play till we know the final nine. The final table will be played in November.
Phil Laak was already short and pushed all in, Fabrice had an easy call with AK; the board was A 2 7 2 K and the elimination of the well-known Laak was a fact. After this hand, Fabrice played more than 2 million.
The remaining 12 players are now on a break, when they return they will play the next level with blinds 15k/30k and an ante of 3k.
Level 23, blinds 12k/24k with an ante of 3k. 764 players started a couple of days ago and now the remaining 14 players are fighting to get their share in the 6.3 million prize pool.
We are focused on one of them, Fabrice Soulier. He was producer of french TV shows (Farce Attaque and Un gars, une fille) before he decided to play poker. He has a house in Las Vegas. He was the best french player between 2001 and 2006. He also has been one of the poker teachers in a french show with Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier. In 2009, he got paid seven times in the WSOP for a total of 203.669$. We are proud to have Fabrice in our Everest Poker Team!
Fabrice Soulier made it to the last 18! The remaining players will start tomorrow, they will play till there are 9 players left.
Fabrice lost a 700k pot with JJ vs AJ, he was in good shape to win this pot but unfortunately an ace came on the river. But no worries, 1.3 million left, that's slightly above average!
Good luck tomorrow Fabrice, we are going to follow you!
The only Everest Poker player left, Fabrice Soulier, made it to the final 27. With an average stack, he's still in good shape.
Average is 848k, blinds are 6000-12000 with a 1000 ante. The levels are 120 minutes, the levels will be decreased when we reach the final 9 players. Tonight Partouche will start to broadcast this tournament. Let's hope Fabrice will make it to the final table!
...we have a pic of Fabrice's stack :)
Antoine Saout just busted. He takes home 18.500 euro for his 46th place. Antoines KQ couldn't win from the 99 of his opponent. Congratulations with the cash Antoine!
Saout during day 2 of the Partouche Poker Tour Final.
So there's one Everest Poker Team pro left, Fabrice Soulier! With blinds 4k/8k and an ante of 1k, we are playing the 18th level. 44 players left, good luck Fabrice!
Fabrice Soulier has a tough table with Cyriel ‘DonLimit’ Andre on his right with 1.2 million chips. Fabrice himself has 920.000, which is very healthy with a 400.000 average. Fabrice lost a pot when he raised UTG+3 and a player in middle position 3bets him to 36k. Fabrice called and the Jc9c3h flop went check/check. Fabrice decided to bet out 36k on a 2h turn and got a call. Fabrice bets again 37k on the Jh river, but this time his opponent raises it up to 131k which made our Everest Poker Team player fold. After that loss Fabrice was able to win a lot of small pots which led to his big stack at the moment.
Antoine Saout on the other hand is really short now, with only 80k and blinds of 3k/6k he really needs a double up to be able to play the aggressive game he’s used to.
The last hands have just been dealt and the remaining 55 players will be back tomorrow at 1 pm.
Join us tomorrow to follow the action of our Everest Poker Team players. From Cannes, good night!
Fabrice Soulier, our French Everest Poker pro, is having a good time at his table. He's playing almost 1 million while the average stack is 409k. 56 players left and also Antoine Saout, our November Nine player, is still in.
Payouts
Koen de Bakker just won his first heads up match. Now he's playing against Anas Tadini. Tomorrow the remaining players will play the last three rounds of this HU tournament. For now, good luck Koen de Bakker!
...so we assume that the bubble bursted!
Congratulations for all the players that will finish in the money! Fabrice Soulier and Antoine Saout have the knowledge and skill to make it to the final table, good luck guys!
While the Main Event players are excited about the bubble (82 players left, 81 will be in the money), is Koen de Bakker focusing on another tournament; the Heads Up 3k tournament with 32 players. Eurosport will broadcast this event in the next weeks. Fabien Perrot is playing another side event, the 500 euro deep stack tournament. Good luck to both!
Fabien yesterday in the Main Event.
We were watching Fabrice Souliers table and the action is so sloooooooow. A French player had 12k left (blinds 2k/4k) and took his time for obvious decisions. Finally he moved all in with his 3BB's and online the big blind made the call with 72s. The staller shows JJ and he doubles up...
Fabrice Soulier, our French Everest Poker Team Pro, is crushing the table. With 86 players left, the money-bubble is a big hurdle for a lot of players. Fabrice puts the pressure on his table and we see his stack increasing! Go Go GO GOGOGOGO Fabsoul!
81 players will be in the money. 764 participants played this tournament and the prize pool will be over 6 million euros!
274k Antoine Saout
450k Fabrice Soulier
The 122 remaining players are still in level 13, with blinds 1200/2400 and a 300 ante. The average stack is 187.868 and we have two Everest Poker players in the field; Fabrice Soulier and Antoine Saout. Antoine started the day with the elimination of a player with AT vs 55, good job Antoine! :-).
The player on the CO position opens to 4.5k, Koen in the big blind, playing 62k, makes it 14.5k. The CO pushed all in and Koen calls.
CO AK
Koen AJ
No help for Koen de Bakker so we lost our Dutch Live the Dream player from Leiden.
We lost Sigurd, Valentin and Fabien today, so there are three Everest Poker players active in the field.
Fabrice Soulier 170k
Koen de Bakker 70k
Antoine Saout 270k
After a raise from UTG Koen de Bakker 3bets in the 1k/2k blind level to 12k. UTG calls. The flop is AxJ and both players check. The turn is a blank and now the UTG raiser makes it 18k. Koen folds and drops down to 78k.
After this hand he managed to steal the blinds twice so his stack is 90k, the same as before the dinner break. (For your information; Koen had a hamburger, well done. ;-))
Koen is still smiling
Valentin Messina just busted. The French Champion and Live the Dream player decided to push all in from the small blind with J8. He was already short and the button just called the blind. The big blind unfortunately found 55 and made the call. A 5 on the flop made it difficult for our Valentin and the turn and river gave no help.
Antoine Saout is doing a great job. After hitting a Royal Flush, he won a huge all in with a flush. He's playing almost 300k at the moment!

After losing a big pot with a flush- and a open ended straight draw on the turn, his last 10k went all in with AJ. Sigurd got two callers and one of them is holding AQ. The flop is AKQ and the turn and river offer no help for our Norwegian Live the Dream player.
Good game Sigurd!
Our November Nine 2009 player hit an one outer.
Antoine Saout plays towards the flop with Ac Tc, the other player checks the flop (Qc Jc Jh) and Antoine decides, after a look at the stack of his opponent, to push all in. The other player shows J9. The turn is a 9 so it looks like Antoine is going to double his opponent BUT...The river is a Kc, the only out for Antoine gave him a royal flush!

.....
Julien Claudepierre (Garrincho54 on Everest Poker) pushed his last 10k on a A T 5 flop with AT, the turn gave him a royal flush draw but also gave his opponent a better two pair. The river is a blank and we lost Julien.
37k Valentin Messina
57k Sigurd Eskeland
21k Javier Martinez
85k Fabrice Soulier
53k Francesco de Vivo
We just spoke with Javier Martinez who just made a mistake. Instead of raising the button to 1300 he pushed in a brown 5.000 chip and 3 black 100's. 5300 was the raise, and after some thought the small blind announced all-in. The big blind, famous Dutch player Johan 'bustosoon' van Til announced all-in immediately. Javier decided to fold his jacks and was relieved when they opened their hands and saw A8 and QQ. A jack on the turn made him feel a little worse and Javier has to play on with 21k.
- Leo Truche: 28,000
- Valentin Messina: 29,000
- Julien Claudepierre: 30,000
- Estelle Denis: 28,000
- Fabrice Soulier: 63,000
- Javier Martinez: 29,000
- Francesco de Vivo: 28,000
- Sigurd Eskeland: 39,000
"I was down to 16k and now I'm doubled up, so I have to get deep in this tournament, I was almost out!", he said during the break. Sigurd Eskeland found QQ and decided to go all in pre flop; his opponent was glad to call with KK. First card on the flop was directly what Sigurd was looking for, a Q!
After the break we saw this hand:
On a AT7 rainbow board Sigurd bets 2500, the guy on the big blind makes is 7k. Sigurd takes his time and after 2 minutes he raises to 16k. His opponent folds quickly. Will this be Sigurd's tournament again? We'll see!
Looks like our players are playing the same game! Fransesco, Leo, Valentin, Estelle, Sigurd and Javier all have a stack around 28k. Fabrice already doubled up to 63k but he's facing a pretty tough table. So does Valentin! He's sitting on the right side of....Phil Ivey!
Gogogo Valentin!
Today we will report about the second day of the Partouche Poker Tour Final in Cannes. A tournament with a great structure: 90 minutes levels and a 30k start stack. The players just started with the first level and they will be playing till 4AM (!!). We have a total of 740 players and that means the prize pool will be over 6 million euros!
Let's introduce you to todays Everest Poker Team members and Live the Dream players:
Léo Truche
Well-known online at Everest Poker by the screen name leoledingo, Leo Truche has had a passion for games since he was a kid, but when he and his friends started watching poker on television, they were soon hooked. Four years ago, Leo discovered Everest Poker with a simple "online poker" search and has been a loyal member of the Everest Poker community ever since.
Julien Claudepierre
Like many young players, Julien discovered poker through the film Rounders. “I fell in love with the poker universe, and I wanted to find out everything about the game.” His desire for more information led him to Everest’s play money tables. He also worked as an intern for the online poker school Deuces Cracked in New York City.
Francesco de Vivo
In his first live event as an Everest Poker-sponsored player, Italy’s Francesco de Vivo made quite the impression. On Sunday, February 21, Francesco finished second in Copenhagen, cashing €303,000 ($411,000). Francesco is a beloved player in the Italian community.
Sigurd Eskeland
The 36-year-old father of two from Oslo took a year off from teaching elementary education to become a full-time poker pro. It’s safe to say he made a wise decision. Sigurd claimed his first gold bracelet and cashed $260,497 in the 8-game Mixed Event only six months after being named to the 2010 Live the Dream Team.
Fabrice Soulier
One of the world’s best and most recognizable live event players, Fabrice Soulier brings over a decade of pro experience to Team Everest. Fabrice—known online as FabSoul— has long been regarded as one of the top players not only in his native France, but throughout the world. At the 2009 WSOP alone, Fabrice cashed seven times, made four final table appearances and finished in 49th place at the Main Event ($138,568).
Valentin Messina
In January 2010, Valentin became the Poker Champion of France in the biggest-ever final of the France Poker Tour, outlasting 635 players and cashing €152,000. Following his victory in Paris, he also made a final table at the SPT Aranjuez. He has also won the $10,000 Guaranteed, $30,000 Guaranteed and the $100,000 Guaranteed, and over a dozen packages to live events online with Everest Poker.
Estelle Denis
Our new sponsored player! She is well known in France as a TV personality, but when she's not working she loves to play poker, and with good results! She cashed in the Main Event of the WSOP last year with a 203nd place.
It's 4AM and the tournament director just announced the last hand. All of our Everest Poker players made it to day 2! Saturday at 2PM they will continue. Koen de Bakker ends the day with 87k. He unfortunately lost a big pot at the end of the last level; two pair versus two pair. Fabien Perrot will also start day two with a healthy stack; 82k. Antoine Saout tripled his start stack; he's playing 98k next Saturday.
Tomorrow we will see 7 Everest Poker Live the Dream players in action, good luck to them!
Koen de Bakker 113k
Antoine Saout 40k
Fabien Perrot 50k
194 players left with blinds 300-600 and an 50 ante. After this level they will play level 8 before they call it a day.
Antoine Saout had about 15k before this hand:
Saout makes it 1075 UTG+2, the cut off 3bets to 3.5k, Saout 4bets to 14.5k (leaving 800 behind(!!)) and the cut off calls. Saout moves all in on a KT9 flop and his opponent makes the easy call. With TT Saout beats QQ so he doubles up!
Voitto Rintala just busted. He was already short and decided to push his last 6k to the middle with JT. Unfortunately another player found AK and made the easy call. No help for Voitto.
The average stack is 45k, we started day 1A with 330 players and the remaining 221 participants are playing level 6.
After the dinner break, Koen hits his second set this tournament! There's a lot of action pre flop, and both players check on the A high flop. The turn is a K and Koen raises the bet of his opponent. On a blank river, Koen goes all in and gets a call. Our Dutch Live the Dream player is now playing 86k!
Besides our Everest Poker Players, there are a lot of international names; Men N’Guyen, David Williams, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, Eric Seidel, JJ Liu, Andrew Lichtenberg, Michael Tureniek.
Today the last stop of the third season of the Partouche Poker Tour started, a final! This tournament with a great, deep structure has a day 1a and 1b. We will follow our Everest Poker players on this blog. On the French blog you'll find more information about the French Everest Poker players.
