www.ultimatebet.com today announced a new promotion that cements the poker site as the best place to win a seat in the series. The leading online poker site is gearing up to hand out at least 50 Main Event seats in their World Series of Poker ("WSOP") *50 Package Satellite, a $530 buy-in event scheduled for June 21st at 17:30ET.

UltimateBet's WSOP *50 Package Satellite is guaranteed to qualify at least 50 online players for the $10,000  buy-in No Limit Hold'em poker extravaganza, to be run and won at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino. It doesn't matter whether a player finishes 1st or 50th in the online poker site's June 21st big seat giveaway , they'll win a $12,000 prize package to the WSOP* Main Event.

Designed so that more online poker players are able to experience Texas Hold'em on the world's biggest stage alongside poker's biggest pros, UltimateBet's WSOP* 50 Package Satellite will award a minimum of 50 prize packages for the 2009 WSOP Main Event, including the $10,000 tournament buy-in and $2,000 towards travel expenses. An epic bonus of $10 Million to any UB registered player who goes on to win the Main Event means earning a seat for the WSOP* at UltimateBet is more than a shrewd move...it's a must!

In its 10th Anniversary year, www.ultimatebet.com is set to enjoy a rousing presence in Sin City this July, led by legend of the game, Phil Hellmuth. The online poker site is opening the floodgates to even more Main Event seats through their WSOP* 50 Package Satellite event, with the ultimate aim of sending as many players as possible to Las Vegas to join ‘Emperor' Phil Hellmuth at the world's most prestigious poker tournament.

If that's not reason enough to pop the champagne corks, the eleven-time World Championship titleholder also celebrates the 20th Anniversary of his very first bracelet win at the 1989 WSOP*, where as a brash 24 year-old, he created a record that stood unbroken for 19 years as the youngest person ever to win the World Series of Poker Main Event.

 "The World Series of Poker is the ultimate stuff of legends, and at UB, we're on a crusade to make poker's Holy Grail, the Main Event, our own. I'll be bringing my best game to the table, and looking to add another piece of WSOP ‘bling' to my résumé," said UltimateBet Pro player Phil Hellmuth.  "2009 is a huge year for me and for UB, and with dual Anniversaries to be buzzed about, I'm itching to hit Vegas and get this party started!"

To qualify for UB's WSOP* 50 Package Satellite, players can either buy-in directly for $530, or choose to enter and win a Step 7A tournament that awards a player with an automatic entry into the June 21st mega-seat satellite event.

Strapped for cash online poker players are well looked after; enter a STEP 1 tournament for just $0.10 and work up to a Step 7A win to secure free entry into UltimateBet's WSOP* 50 Package Satellite. It really is that easy to find yourself parked next to Phil Hellmuth at the Rio in Las Vegas,  and toasting to his career success  as a welcome guest  at his VIP invitation-only 20th Anniversary party.
