200K rock star win, another week of celebrity apprentice and more UB radio!
Friday, April 3, 2009 - P0ker J0
Hello UB!
Friday again huh? This week went by faster than a Bon Jovi encore! Wow – I must be getting old! As always – another interesting week in Team UB land!
We saw Annie Duke last another week on Celebrity Apprentice. Did you see it? It was an Annie Duke I’d never seen before! I think if Annie ever decides to open up a hotel, I’d sure be one of the first guests – ESPECIALLY if she was at the Bell Desk! Seriously though Annie – congrats again for lasting this long. I think her strategy is becoming a bit more evident now as the episodes progress. Don’t forget you can get Annie’s “behind the scenes” blog here.
Well it sounds like everyone had a blast at the Dream Team Poker Challenge in Vegas! Even though Jamie Gold’s team won, team Hellmuth, team Hollywood Dave, team Binger and team Tiffany Michelle all made us proud! A great turnout by all!
You’ve heard P0ker H0 and Annie on Rounders Radio – are you ready for this though?? The great P0ker H0 and the infamous Wiscosmurray can now be heard on live radio in the WI area. They are launching the Man Up show on WTDY on the MidWest Family Broadcast on Saturday mornings at (wait for it…………………) 7:00 AM!!!! I mean who would have thought poker players would even be up that early. The ONLY time I have EVER seen a poker player up that early is when they haven’t been to bed yet!!! Anyway – it should prove to be a very entertaining program. They will of course be talking poker, but intuition leads me to think that they’ll take it up a notch. I’m just on the edge of my seat waiting to hear all about it.
So rock star to poker star!! Did you see our very own Scott Ian take down the 200k on Sunday? Check out his blog about it here – and YES, tha is Keanu Reeves in the photographs!! Anyway, he has been working his ASS off playing poker for the last few years. I first met Scott when he won the VH1 Rock Stars of Poker that UltimateBet sponsored a few years ago. I have always found Scott to be one of the most genuine down to earth kinda guys. I couldn’t be happier for him! This was a huge triumph for him and he deserves it! Way to go Scott!! Don’t forget we still have to finish having that conversation about how you should grow your hair so I can teach you to backcomb!! 
So what’s next? Well the WPT Bellagio event is in a few weeks. Seems like there will be a good sized UB group there and so many of the pros will be there. Check back next week on my blog for full details of how you can hang with Team UB in Vegas!
Well that’s all for P0ker J0 this week! Have a good one and see you next Friday!
