Everest Poker Avalanche Final

  It was a long time coming. Online poker room Everest Poker had been teasing and enticing for nine long months about their Everest Poker Avalanche event, and they wouldn't even tell the players where the final event was to take place. It turns out it wasn't going to happen just in one place, but in a traveling tournament aboard a Costa Cruise ship in the Mediterranean.  Finally the game was held to determine who the lucky ten players who got to go to the ship would be, and the Everest Poker Avalanche live finale was played out. The ten players, who were from six separate countries, got a trip of a life time and a shot at a huge prize pool to boot.  There were two Germans in the heads up battle as Frank Stumpf fought with Matthias Lotze to see who would take the title and the top prize of more than two hundred thousand dollars.  Here are the final standings.PlacePlayer, CountryPrize1stFrank Stumpf, Germany$233,3002ndMatthias Lotze, Germany$127,2003rdFrederic Pasquier, France$95,4004thStephan Gerin, France$74,2005thEric Liu, Canada$53,0006thHubert Koeman, the Netherlands$42,4007thRaoul Kristache, Norway$31,8008thAnn Wijns, Belgium$21,2009thDidier Fabre, France$18,50010thMarc Perucca, France$13,500
