The Online Poker Player Resource

Poker events are simply exciting and they provide some of the ways for a poker player to earn some hard cold cash. Following what seems to be an industry staple; poker pros Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth Jr. are hosting the UltimateBet Online Championship (UBOC) series of 2008. Events for this championship begin at 8:00 p.m. EST on December 7, 2007 and will run through to December 16, 2007. The event is kicking off with a $200+15 six-handed no-limit hold'em tournament that has an awesome $100,000 guarantee.

UltimateBet has announced that the event will be guaranteed to have a whopping $2 million dollars in total prize money for all of events with most of it saved for the $1,000+50 main event which has in itself a $750,000 guarantee. Many of the UltimateBet pros will be participating in events themselves. Some of them, including Duke and Hellmuth will also be adding witty commentary to some of the events as well.

On top of the amazing tournament prizes, UltimateBet has created a leaderboard system mainly for the event. Each player that participates and wins an event will be given a certain amount of points. Those who are the top finishers of the UBOC II will get a share of $100,000 as being the top scorers of the leader boards.

Naturally, the site is running many satellites to these great events with buy-ins starting as low as $1. For more detailed information be sure check out http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-tournaments/events/uboc
