190 poker players from all corners of Europe flew into Chia Laguna Resort, Sardinia, to contest the third €100,000 Everest Poker European Cup (EPEC) but the weekend belonged to Switzerland.
This was the first major poker tournament where every single knock-out was update live on Twitter.
The winner, Pablo Finini, won with A9 against 88 with a 9 on the river!
With two Swedes on the final table it looked liked being a third consecutive EPEC win for Sweden but the Swiss resistance was too strong.
The final three were; 1st Pablo ‘finini’ Finini (CH), €21,000. 2nd Gael ‘Indian_Air’ Seydoux (CH), €16,000 & 3rd Johan ‘nupassarde’ Carlvik (SV), €12,000.
The main event was directed brilliantly by the ever-cool Thomas Kremser and the Sardinian sunshine was enjoyed by all at the Chia Laguna. Pictures and videos available at: http://www.everestpoker.com/blog.

It would be interesting to know more about the proposed buy out of Everest Poker by PartyGaming and their PartyPoker.
PokerScout have had PartyPoker on the upward trend of a number of months.
As far as I know on an Australian, European and American basis PartyGaming and their PartyPoker brand is significantly stronger than Everest Poker.
One may speculate if next year, or even in the coming months, the Everest Cup will be transformed into the PartyPoker cup. Who might be the faces of a PartyPoker Cup? How about Mike Sexton and Paris Hilton, and how about someone signing up Mickey Rourke and Australia’s Bra Boys!
Everest have the right approach with the multi language – multi currency casino, however their brand just hasn’t cut through into some markets that matter. If the deal and price was right PartyPoker would swallow up Everest right?
I would like to see a league VS league poker tourney between World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour. In the pro wrestling industry this would have been like a World Wrestling Entertainment (Wrestlemania) Vs World Championship Wrestling (Starrcade). Any takers? Give me a Hell Yeah!
