"We're excited to welcome Everest Poker to the World Series of Poker family. Through this agreement, Everest Poker is now literally in the center of the poker universe. Through presence on all tables, their brand will be connected to every historic moment at the WSOP. This alliance further demonstrates the globalization of poker and the industry behind it.”
