Winterfest 2010

When the weather turns sour, it comes time to retreat indoors. This makes it the perfect time of year to put in some serious hours at your favourite money poker sites. Everest Poker are waiting with open arms and a warm fire to greet all comers with their Winterfest 2010 promotion.

Everest have used their position as an one of the best online poker sites to build their own promotion. Players from other sites cannot gain access to Everest Poker, so you know that any deals they come up with are designed specifically for their customers.

During Winterfest, there are three separate offers available to every player, every day. First up is the opportunity to pick up the most sought after gadget of the moment. The Apple iPad is a revolutionary tablet computer that looks set to become just as popular as the company’s famous iPod range of mp3 players. The kind of prize only the top poker downloads could muster.

Every day during Winterfest that you earn 10 or more points, you’ll be given a ticket to the following day’s Winterfest Freeroll. The tournament is held at 18:00 GMT every day and pays out an iPad to the first place finisher. All is not lost, however, if you can’t quite make it all the way to number 1. 2nd and 3rd place will be the lucky recipients of an iPod Touch and 4th - 10th get a ticket worth $109 to Everest’s $50,000 Guaranteed tournament.

You’ll have no trouble earning 10 Summit Points in a single day, if you make sure you play during the Winterfest Happy Hour. You can accumulate double the normal number of points by playing a select number of tables between the times of 23:00 and 23:59 GMT. No Limit texas hold em hands from $0.02/$0.02 to $0.50/$0.50 qualify, as do Limit Hold’em contests with blinds between $0.02/$0.04 and $0.50/$1.

Last but not least is a cut-price offer on the most popular daily tournament on the Everest Poker Download, the $5K GTD. You can buy into this 19:00 GMT tournament for half-price, at just $50 + $5. With half the usual prize pool whisked out from under their feet, there’s a much greater chance that the event will turn out to be +EV for all involved.

Head over to one of the best Euro poker sites to catch the last few days of Winterfest, which runs from Dec 20 - Jan 7.
