WSOP November Niner, Antoine Saout, Joins Team Everest Poker
LONDON, August 10 /PRNewswire/ -- 25 year-old Frenchman, Antoine Saout who recently became one
of only two Europeans in the WSOP November Nine has now committed to Team
Everest.
Antoine, already a millionaire, is another example of a player
who has grown through Everest Poker, where he qualified for the WSOP, and is
now looking to establish himself as a world-class poker professional. The
deal will see him participate in the biggest poker tournaments on the planet
and, of course, the WSOP Final Table in November.
Antoine, from Saint Martin des Champs, Brittany, France,
dropped out of university after one year to concentrate on poker. This
commitment to the game has been amply rewarded by a final table appearance in
his first ever WSOP and a contract with official WSOP sponsors, Everest
Poker.
Everest Poker does not sponsor professional players but
instead invests in real players to become professionals and succeed on the
world stage in much the same way as many football clubs now look to nurture
talent within their own academies.
Sandrine Mangia-Park, Everest's Poker Director, commented;
"France is where Everest Poker first launched and to have a French player on
the final table who qualified with us is very exciting. He joins an
increasingly well respected team of real poker players who all support each
other in the biggest tournaments around the world."
Team Everest are: Cristiano Blanco (IT), Voitto Rintala (FI),
Maria Maceiras (ES), Steven van Zadelhoff (NL) & Kim Wooka (JP).
