Embattled Ultimate Poker has lost another of its team pros but unlike last week’s ugly departure of William Reynolds, Jason Somerville’s departure from UP does not appear to be quite as contentious.

“I’m not a cheap date,” Somerville said upon confirming his severed ties with Ultimate Poker.

From F5Poker.com:

Jason recounted that as Season 2 of RunItUp ramped up production, Ultimate Poker had licensed the content to upload on UP’s YouTube Channel but after the company’s troubles in New Jersey, as Jason put it, “things had to change.”

When it did though, Jason was happy to report that the parting of ways was not a contentious one. Everyone was happy with all of the previous episodes and the separation was strictly a financial decision.

“There was no animosity, there was no screaming, yelling…it wasn’t like talking to my mother circa 2002,” Jason said. But he also added, “I’m not a cheap date,” and “I didn’t want to take whatever, so we had to do what we had to do.”

Somerville also thanked his former sponsor.
