So far almost 1400 of you have solved the puzzle to get the password. Do you think we can hit 2000 players in tomorrow night’s Amazing Race Freeroll? I think it will be close.
All you have to do to enter is follow the clues listed here in the original post. Some people found it easy, some found it too hard. It depends on what type of thinker you are and not necessarily what level of poker knowledge you have. Of course, I can almost guarantee you’ll learn something along the way.
So, to get your shot at $1000 in cash and tournament buy-ins, try to solve the puzzle to get the password.
Let me know how you make out!

Can you solve an online scavenger hunt to get into an exclusive freeroll?
That’s all you have to do to get your shot at $1000 in cash and prizes with ZERO buy-in. Some of you have asked why we’re making it a little bit tricky to get entrance to this freeroll. It’s very simple. This ensures the field will be relatively modest compared to the SICK prizes available. For example, normally to get into the Sunday 200K GTD you need to pony up $200+$25. That’s already a SMOKIN deal. In the UltimateBet’s Amazing Race freeroll, 1st AND 2nd place finishers will BOTH get 200K GTD buy-ins, with hundreds more in cash spread from 3rd to 47th.
Check out the rest of the payout structure in the UltimateBet game client.
If you think you can hack it, try to solve the scavenger hunt and get into the UltimateBet Amazing Race freeroll!
It goes down right here on Wednesday Oct 28 at 9 pm ET.

GL and happy hunting!

At UltimateBet, we enjoy producing Freeroll events that become more than just a really fun free poker tournament. For those of you that have been following the UB Blog or @ultimate_bet on Twitter, you’ve probably taken part in one of our fun events. We’ve recently had:
The Pocket Card Challenge
Twitter Is Our Middle Name
The Delicious Freeroll
The Golden Tweet
Twitter Up For Africa
…to name just a few.
The next phase is the evolution of our recent events. Normally each month we run a Twitter event and a Blog event separately. This time, we’re combining the two events into one, which means TWICE THE PRIZE POOL. It also means twice the fun, twice the memories and twice the poker action. 1st and 2nd place will receive a seat at the 200K GTD and cash prizes will be spread from 3rd place to 45th place.
So, you’re probably wondering what this one is made of. Do you like riddles?……puzzles?……scavenger hunts?…….what about UltimateBet’s Amazing Race? (for those that don’t know, our very own Tiffany Michelle is currently competing on the CBS show The Amazing Race alongside her pal Maria Ho.)
UltimateBet’s Amazing Race requires more than just a password or a Golden Tweet. You’ll need to traverse the web in search of clues that get you closer to solving the Ultimate question. UltimateBet’s Amazing Race happens right here on Wednesday October 28 at 9pm ET. HOW DO I GET MY CHANCE TO PLAY IN ULTIMATEBET’S AMAZING RACE?
Step 1
Click this link and go to UltimateBet’s Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/ultimatebetvideo. Rate 3 video’s on the UltimateBet youtube channel, then try to solve the first clue.
Clue number 1 – 0:30 / 6:58 – How many legs are at Caesar’s table?
Step 2
Go to UltimateBet’s Twitter page at www.twitter.com/ultimate_bet and Follow @ultimate_bet.
You are looking for a specific @ultimate_bet Tweet from a specific day in the recent past. Take the answer to clue number 1 and subtract 3. Now divide this by 3. The answer is the month of the Tweet you need to find. The answer to clue number one is the day. The year is 2009. Some of the posts on this date have links to UB Blog posts.
Clue number 2 – What did UltimateBet discontinue the use of?
Step 3
One of our UltimateBet pros finished 17th in the WSOP Main Event in 2008.
Clue number 3 – What is the “answer to clue number 2″ of this UltimateBet pro?
Step 4
If you were to ask a waiter at a restaurant in London, England for ‘the answer to clue number 3′, what would you receive?
Clue number 4 – The answer to this question is the password to the UltimateBet’s Amazing Race freeroll. With no spaces the answer is 11 characters long.
SPECIAL NOTE: Do not try over and over to enter passwords that you ‘think’ might be right. The game client will lock you out of the tournament if you try too many times with the wrong password. If this happens to you, email support@ultimatebet.com.
GL!

Pocket Card Challenge – Sept 30
Let’s get ready to rumble once again. You guys seem to love these blog freerolls and it’s no wonder!
There are not many other ways you can play in an online poker tournament with NO BUY IN and win lot’s of cash and a seat at the Sunday 200K GTD. We’re still waiting for one of our Blog Freeroll Winners to cash at the 200K GTD. It could be you!
The password to the Pocket Card Challenge is pocket2aces
As usual, we’ve got a twist to this tournament.
To get your chance at $50 bucks, guess the final hand pocket cards of this tourney’s winner. Write your guess in the comments section of this blog post (only comments in this exact blog post will be counted, no exceptions). Make sure to include your UltimateBet username in the body of the comment. If you mess up your username, we will not contact you so get it right. When guessing the winner’s final hand pocket cards use no spaces, use capital letters for the Card, and small letters for the Suit.
UltimateBet username
AsKd
If you guess more than once, none of your guesses will be counted. No exceptions.
If more than one person guesses the correct final hand pocket cards of the tourney, the $50 will be divided accordingly and spread over the players with the correct guess.
NOW THE ICING ON THE CAKE. If you make a guess and then finish 1st in the Pocket Card Challenge with the final hand pocket cards that you guessed, you will get $100.
Let the guessing begin!

First off, we apologize for the delay in announcing the winner of last week’s Blog Freeroll guessing game. There was a minor complication that has now been fixed.
The player with the correct guess of 1014 was Akorps777. Akorps777 took a nice $50 prize for his ‘lucky’ guess and also brought something to our attention that we’ll have to fix for next time. We need to close the guessing farther in advance of the tourney start time (probably 24 hours) but as usual, our intelligent players will show us the way.
To Akorps777, let us know how you make out on the tables with your winfall.
For a complete rundown on the Blog Freeroll, follow this link to Gene Brombergs post tourney wrap up post. As usual, Gene does an excellent job chronicling the event. Congrats to WELFAR3CHECK for taking down the field. In addition to his cash prize WELFAR3CHECK got an entry to the 200K GTD.
Below is the list of top 20 finishers.
