Each player will have a reserved seat at World Heads-Up Poker Championship, taking place at the Casino de Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain, from May 19-28. All four players will receive a prize package worth $5,000, which includes the 2,600€ buy-in.

"This is the first time we're sending players to this increasingly popular event," said Jonathan May, Everest Poker's Property Manager. "We think our players will find the heads-up format absolutely electrifying, and we wish all four the best of luck!"

Added May, "Many of our players, in fact, tell us they enjoy the short-handed format, which is why we've added so many short-handed tables to our selection of ring games."

Everest Poker is also currently featuring satellite tournaments for the following events:

* The Everest Poker European Championship, an exclusive Everest Poker event taking place September 9, 2006.

* The Grand Prix de Paris, a World Poker Tour event taking place June 12-16, 2006, at the Aviation Club de France in Paris, France.
