Download Everest Poker to play in a series of exclusive league freerolls in August to qualify for the Everest Poker International Cup (EPIC) package. The winner will walk away with a $2,500 package to play in the Everest EPIC finale in Alicante, Spain, from September 9 to 11.
About the $75,000 EPIC Final
EPIC from Everest Poker is a $125,000 freeroll series, with a $75,000 live finale in Alicante, Spain, taking place September 9 to 11. Only 50 players will be attending this exclusive tournament, and the only way to get there normally is to win your place in one of two direct-entry tournaments on August 1 and 29, which cost 25,000 summit points to enter. However, PokerNews has secured one exclusive package to the event, and 15 direct-entry tokens to a further $25,000 freeroll, which can be won for as little as 10 summit points.
Although the event is a freeroll, players can expect a world-class experience because Thomas Kremser and his team of professionals at TK Events have agreed to help organize and direct the live tournament.

Taking place between August 2 and 25, you can play in twice-weekly freerolls on Everest Poker. These tournaments are for league points only, which go toward a tournament leaderboard. The leaderboard takes into account each player’s best five results – so no need to give up if you make a poor start to the series.
Knock out $10,000 HORSE champion Fabrice Soulier for $100
Each league event has an exclusive password, which will be released on our EPIC league page on the day of the tournament.

Download Full Tilt Poker via PokerNews to play in a $55,000 added skill league which culminates in a $20,000 freeroll.
PokerNews players enjoyed a huge overlay in event one of the $55,000 PokerNews Skills Challenge last week. $3,000 was added to the prize pool of event #1, which was a $5+$0.50 freezeout that attracted just 133 players. That meant that there was nearly six times as much added money as there was put up by the players in event number one. It also meant that if you had played, your $5+$0.50 buy-in would have actually been worth around $27.50.
In particular geguzis41 of Lithuania will be smiling, as he took down event #1 for $844.10 and put himself right to the top of the leader board.
Like the sound of that? You can still get in on the action as there are 7 more of these money added league events every Wednesday and the ranking system does not penalise latecomers. There is still $52,000 in added money to play for so get in on the action now like the 133 shrewd PokerNews players did last week.

FastTrack Your Way to the $20,000 Freeroll
If you miss out in the league, don’t have the time or just want to guarantee your spot, you can get there direct without playing any of the league events. That’s because any PokerNews referred Full Tilt Poker account holders who earn 200 Full Tilt Points in the month of April will be eligible to play also.
The $20,000 freeroll is likely to have one of the smallest fields but one of the biggest prize pools you are ever likely to see, so whether you play the league or not you want to get in on this action. If you have already been playing the league events in April you will already have plenty of Full Tilt Points to get you started.
So whether you fast track your way to the $20,000 freeroll or beat up the competition, if you’ve got the skills we have the $55,000 added money you’ve been waiting for. Download Full Tilt Poker via PokerNews and use bonus code PKRNEWS to get in on the action (Also good for a 100% up to $600 first deposit bonus)
