UltimateBet.com’s $2-million Series Offers Wild
Ride for One Online Poker Player
It was a history-making
weekend in online poker as UltimateBet.com kicked
off its $2-million poker series and doled out hundreds
of thousands of dollars in guaranteed cash.
The UltimateBet.com
Online Championship began December
7th at 8pm ET with a $100,000 Guaranteed 6 Seat No
Limit Hold’em poker tournament. Over the course of
the weekend, the popular online poker site hosted
four additional events, which collectively guaranteed
$575,000 US.
Shotskee, CollegeChick and Rizen finished first
in events one, three, and five respectively. But
the series was extra lucrative for one particular
online poker player who took control of events two
and four.
Wild Duck reigned victorious in two major UBOC events
– Saturday’s $75,000 Guaranteed No Limit Hold’em
poker tournament and Sunday’s $200,000 Guaranteed
No Limit Hold’em event – earning a total of $84,759.10
in one weekend.
With seven online poker events remaining as of Tuesday,
December 11th, poker enthusiasts around the globe
will be watching the tables at UltimateBet.com to
see if Wild Duck has more ammunition on his Texas
Hold’em poker belt.
They won’t have to wait long to find out. UBOC continues
on Tuesday, December 11th with a $100K Guaranteed
No Limit Hold’em poker tournament. Wednesday’s $40,000
tournament is made for fans of Pot Limit Omaha 8
or Better. And Thursday’s $150,000 Guaranteed No
Limit Hold’em poker tourney promises to reward final
table participants quite handsomely. All three tournaments
get underway at 8pm ET.
Dubbed UBOC by the online poker site, the UltimateBet.com
Online Championship features 13 online poker events
