UBOC Starts Today

[Fonzi]

Kicking off today, August 18th, is the 5th edition of the UB.com Online Championship, a series of poker tournaments guaranteeing over $4,000,000 in prize pools! With 20 events offered, ranging across the wide spectrum of games, including Texas Hold’em (No Limit, Pot Limit, and Limit), Omaha, and H.O.R.S.E, the UBOC 5 is sure to attract players of every variation.

Event 1, a $300 buyin “Sniper” (bounty) tournament kicks off the series, hosted by Joe Sebok, son of legendary donor Barry Greenstein. Along the way, Real World star Trishelle Cannatella hosts a sniper of the $150 buyin variety, Tiffany Michelle will also be hosting a $150 “Sniper” (they seem to be putting all the beautiful women in charge of these snipers), and rockers Scott Ian and Shanna Moakler host a $200 buyin No Limit Hold’em tournament, with $200 bounties on themselves. Glaringly missing is recently departed Liv Boeree, who would have been a great addition to those other beautiful women. Capping off UBOC 5 is a $1000 buyin, $1,000,000 guaranteed MONSTER STACK No-Limit Hold’em tournament, hosted by none other than Phil Hellmuth.

UltimateBet is also running numerous satellite contests. For example, if you satellite into one single event numerous times, and it happens to be more times than anyone else qualified for it, you will win an additional two buyins, which means, if you satellite into a $1000 buyin more times than anyone, you win those extra seats in tournament dollars, as well as an additional $2000.

Also, if you love satellites, you could be greatly served by qualifying for multiple of the UBOC events. UltimateBet is offering $15,000 in freerolls for those that use their satellites to qualify for the UBOC. If you qualify for 2 different UBOC events, you gain entry into a $5,000 freeroll. Qualify for another UBOC event, gain entry into another similar freeroll. Qualify for a fourth, and get yet another entry into another freeroll. Also, on top of this, if you satellite your way into 17 or more different UBOC events and automatically win an entry into Phil Hellmuth's $1 MILLION GTD UBOC CHAMPIONSHIP.

If these UBOC tournaments are a bit outside of your price range, running concurrently is the Mini-UBOC, with buyins a fraction of the cost. Get over to UB and check it out!
