Hello All
Yes it is a really amazing promotion, and

to Everest for putting it on.
Ed you really are a cynical man aren't you? We did ask all those same questions to Everest, and there was no catch as far as we could see. Just a fantastic offer for anyone setting up a new account.
Bear in mind this is Everest's flagship sattellite tournament for the WSOP. And as the table sponsors I'm sure they want to send as many players as possible who have qualified through the site.
Also note the promotion only runs for a week, is only for new account holders (and not existing account holders opening a new account) and the tournament is capped at 2,000 runners and there will be a good chunk of those taken up by players qualifying through the normal routes on the site.
It's not a special tournament just for IP readers. So think about that before any thoughts of sharing the bonus code enter anyone's head.
Let's hope we have a lot of IP readers playing in the main event this year due to Everest's generosity. I've got my fingers crossed.
Cheers
Alun
p.s. Cheers Steve. Appreciate that mate. Take a look at Tuchman's article too - it's a good read.
