Everest Poker Partners with Direct 8 in France

Everest Poker is to take France by storm with a new sponsorship deal in association with poker TV show Direct Poker. The show will be aired weekly on one of France's most popular free digital TV channels, Direct 8.

A new wave of new poker television shows aired on both national and cable TV in France has led to a surge in popularity of the game in the country.

Cashing in on the phenomenon is Everest Poker which has teamed up with Direct 8 to launch Direct Poker, a live one-hour televised speed poker game during which over 100 contestants will pit their wits to win a share of the �25,000 prize pool and a seat at the World Series of Poker in July.

To become a contestant on the show, players must register online at either the Direct 8 or Everest Poker website and qualify on one of the poker room's free multi-table tournaments set-up exclusively for the show.

Direct Poker will run from January to July 2007, and the first show will air on Direct 8 on January 26. The show is open to French players residing in France only.
