Everest Poker, one of the leading online poker destinations has announced that a Round 3 Avalanche event will be taking place on Saturday, 27 January at 15:00 GMT. Everest Poker Avalanche is a series of daily and weekly tournaments that will culminate in an online finale to be held on 17 September, 2007 at 15:00 GMT. "That's when the real fun begins," said Jonathan May, Everest Poker's property manager. "The ten winners from the online finale are going to win a trip to play at a live final table at a secret location. That's where their share of the $1,000,000 awaits them. Spanning nine months, the Everest Poker Avalanche involves both online play as well as live poker games. The tournament features a three-round structure that allows players at all levels to join in. Round 1 satellites are designed for players looking for little up-front risk: buy-ins are $3+.30 or $11+1. Round 2 satellites are ideal for players that are more confident in their ability and wish to save time - the buy-in is $56+5. For players with big bankrolls that want to skip right to the top, Everest Poker is offering two choices: monthly Round 3 satellite events such as the event being held on January 27th with a $530+30 buy-in as well as entrance to the Online Avalanche Finale for $5000+300.
