Ultimate Bet has 50 Main Event WSOP seats to hand out to their best online players. These 50 seats will be awarded to the top 50 place winners at the $530 buy-in online event that will be held June 21st at 5:30 p.m. ET.
The Main Event package includes the $10K buy-in as well as $2K for travel expenses to the no-limit hold’em poker WSOP event that will be held at the Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino in July. Ultimate Bet is really trying to get more players in to play alongside their favorite pros, and any registered UB WSOP seat winner who wins the Main Event will earn an extra $10 million bonus.
Ultimate Bet plans on going all out in Vegas this July to commemorate their 10th anniversary with poker legend Phil Hellmuth at the forefront of the party. This year, Hellmuth also celebrates the 20th anniversary of his first WSOP bracelet win back in 1989, then just 24-years-old, now an 11-time World Champion poker player. He held the record for youngest player to win the WSOP for 19 years, after the record was broken last year by Peter Eastgate.
Hellmuth, Ultimate Bet pro, says, “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. 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!”
You can qualify for a chance to win one of UB’s 50 WSOP satellite packages by buying in to the tournament for $530 directly, or enter and win the step challenge tournament that will award players with automatic entry in to the mega-event on June 21st.
