Everest Poker (www.everestpoker.com) today announced that the online poker room would be hosting a freeroll poker tournament with a unique prize - a one-year sponsorship of the winning player\'s chosen UK amateur adult football team. The tournament, held in association with BLAPO (www.blapo.co.uk), is open exclusively to players residing in the UK.

\"With the amateur football season about to start, we thought it was a perfect time to offer something like this to our dedicated UK players,\" said Jonathan May, Everest Poker property manager. \"If you\'re a fan of British or Scottish amateur football, then you can help your favorite team out in a way they\'ll really appreciate!\"

The prize for the freeroll online poker tournament, held on 31 August, 2007 at 20:00 GMT is a predetermined set of football equipment sufficient to outfit the winning player\'s chosen football team worth £1,000. Entry into this tournament is awarded when a UK-based player enters Bonus Code FOOTBALL07 when making a deposit with Everest Poker.
