This year has truly flown by, and now we find ourselves sending some more players to Vegas baby! The WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic promo that we have running is giving away tons of packages; and believe it or not, each one is worth $17,500!
Yeah I did not add extra zeros; it really is worth $17,500. Plus, to top it off, we credit this in cash to your UB account! So basically you can spend from the 14th to the 19th of December in Sin City getting ready to go home with your pockets full of cash to celebrate Christmas! I think that would be an awesome gift for the holidays, don’t you?
Every Sunday at 8:30 we have a Super Satellite that guarantees at least one package to this live event. We also have the Steps series that can get you there for close to nothing if you start on Step one or you can skip directly to Step 10 and pocket one of these packages.
With thanksgiving just around the corner you might be one of the players thankful for playing and winning with us!

Well, the golf has been put on hold a few times due to some rainy days here in the bluegrass state. However, there are a lot of other things going on right now. It was a crazy and exciting weekend as it will be my last here in Kentucky for some time. First I would like to mention my good friend and fellow poker player Doug who was not able to take part in the festivities due to having heart surgery sometime this week. It’s never the same when one of the biggest partiers I know is stuck in a hospital, and we all have to worry about his health. We got word Friday night that things are looking up and can’t wait until he can get back on his feet.
This weekend was a big one in Lexington due to the football game. Kentucky played Louisville which is only about 80 miles from here. This is always a huge and exciting game because many of us at Kentucky have friends from high school who went or go to Louisville. Everyone we know from there came up for the game and was a blast. My friend James from Boston even came down to get a glimpse of what it’s all about here. This is always a huge rivalry in football and basketball. Kentucky was the favorite by almost 14 points and barely sneaked out a victory. We had way too many turnovers but somehow managed to win. This is crucial because the apartment that I rented before I decided to move is on the biggest party street near campus. It’s so wild that I usually watch the game on TV and party with lots of people around here. That may also be due to the fact that in the SEC you can’t purchase alcohol at collegiate sporting events, but that’s debatable! Also, the partying and bar scene is never the same after a loss, so I was glad we managed to get a win my last weekend here.
I am officially leaving on Thursday to live with my friend in Las Vegas until I close on my house there. I have been rushing to get lots of things finished up here in Kentucky before the big move. I’m actually going to the post office right now. I realized that I have lost my passport, great timing About 12 days from now I will be in glorious Aruba taking part in the best poker tournament of the year. I’m going to cut this a big short so I can get some other errands finished as well. I hope all of you are running satellites or steps so that you can win a seat to the Aruba Classic. I would love to meet all of you out there in October. Best of luck!

Can you believe that there’s only 5 days before WSOP 2009 begins? Amazing how time flies when you play poker 24/7, isn’t?
This also means we are on the middle of the year and it has been a good year for poker.
The second part of 2009 will be very exciting with events such as the WSOP 2009 Main event which begins 2009 and we are expecting to see a final table with 9 Ultimate Bet players. Remember that making it to the final table means hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional prizes for those wearing Ultimate Bet gear. A fantastic and breathtaking $10,000,000 prize will be awarded to the Ultimate Bet player who has the skills to win the main event. So, check the tourney schedule to find ways to qualify through Steps, the $530 satellite on Sundays, the $215 satellite on Wednesdays and the brand new WSOP 50-Package Guaranteed event on June 21st to qualify for the biggest and most popular No limit Holdem event on the planet.
Furthermore, the second half of 2009 will offer the WSOP Europe and of course our own Aruba Poker Classic that has become one of the most exciting tourneys due to its fantastic location and high level of poker offered. Go to the Steps tab and you will see Step 10 – Aruba which pays not 1, but 2 Aruba Classic packages worth $8,500 each.
Tuesday is our last round of the Beat the Brat promotion, be sure to check the satellites running throughout the day that qualify you to this $30+3 buy-in exclusive Ultimate Bet tourney where you will be able to play with the one and only Phil Hellmuth. The player that is able to knock him out wins a seat to the WSOP 50-Package Satellite June 21st worth $530. Last week’s tourney saw prize pools as big as $13,000 so be sure to catch some of this on the final Beat the Brat tourney on Tuesday.
Stay tuned and keep checking http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-promotion for the most exciting poker promotions on the net.

Every single day from 1 to 3 players win an entry into the WSOP through the Step tourneys that are currently running. As you guys may already know, it only takes to pick a dime from your pocket to take your skills down to this years’ WSOP.
I bet they don’t call it Sin City just because, I’ve heard Nevada is all about fun, going crazy and extreme pleasures. Then…why not giving it a try? Besides putting you in the line up to the biggest poker tournament in the world, we are trying to turn this into an experience you will never forget. Of course we are aware of how hard things can get these days, so we just want to reward you making things a little easier. A little extra relaxing time and wildness won’t kill anybody…
On my experience, it’s been extraordinary to witness that “Famous Call” when a VIP Host reaches the package winner to gather first impressions and feedback. Yeah… honestly it is not always easy to understand the lucky guy’s comments among all that hooting and joy going all over the place, but it’s definitely part of our goal to shake your legs by awarding this kind of prizes.
I am in close contact with the winners and I have heard their feedback in regards to this promotion, and I can tell that everyone is thrilled that we added the Steps to Ultimate Bet and that we are making it so easy for all of you to have the chance to play in such a huge and important event like the World Series of Poker.
“STEPS” happens to be more than a nice promotion offered to you. We do look forward to consolidate a family here. That’s why this year we chose to smooth things a little so we can bring as many members as possible to the final battle.
Many players are booking their flights and taking care of the Hotel reservations in Las Vegas thanks to this promo and obviously, their great poker skills.
What are you waiting for? Join the action right now and start climbing up the Steps until reaching the top!
The city that never sleeps is just warming up for you, and Ultimate Bet has decided to show them all what the UB Community is made of!

Please notice that the “WSOP Steps” is one of our newest promotions. They consist of 9 player Sit n Go tournaments, which award tickets to other step tournaments.
The best part of this promotion is that when you win a ticket, it will be stored in your account, and you will be able to use it whenever you wish.
For example, if you win a ticket to a Step 4, you just need to choose any WSOP Step 4 and register using your ticket.
In order to use your ticket to register in the next event, you choose the step that you want to play, click on “Register”, this way the system will display a window where it automatically gives you the option to pay with: US Dollars, Tournament Dollars or your ticket; then choose the ticket, which is the third option, and you will be registered.
Do not forget to review the “Prize Info” tab located in the tourney lobby. In this tab, you can see which step you will be able to play if you placed within the firsts places.
Remember that you need to choose the same Step number as the ticket number you won; otherwise, the system will not give you the option to use your ticket.
Please feel free to read more about these events in the following link;

Well happy Friday!!
T.G.I.F is all I can say. This week has flown by faster than any I can remember. BAM it’s Friday again and I have to say I’m looking forward to the weekend. Not because it is Valentine’s Day and I have delusional thoughts that my hubby might actually remember – and shower me with flowers and attention. Nope – I’m not bitter!! 
I’ll fill you in next week on the outcome!
So a relatively quiet week on the pro front. I think everyone is gearing up for the LA Poker Classic. I have a pretty full line up there including Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, Tiffany Michelle, Hollywood Dave to name a few. There will be lots of yellow and black – hopefully at some final tables too! Go Team UB go!
What you will see very soon is an onslaught of pros playing in the new STEPS tournaments on UB. After much anticipation, they are launching on February 15th! With more chances to win more tournaments with smaller buy ins – why wouldn’t we see more pros??!! Enjoy them – Team UB will be sure to.
So I have some cryptic messages for you – all will become very clear soon enough! Promise! There is a HUGE promotion launching in the next week or so involving our very own guitar playing rock star Scott Ian. This will be something you will want to follow – trust me! I’m a Bon Jovi fanatic – but this promo has me ready to say “Have A Nice Day” Jon – I”m an Anthrax fan now!
Don’t forget to listen in to The Ultimate Poker Show on Rounders Radio this Sunday at 8:00 PM EST with the great P0ker H0 and Annie Duke. They have a special surprise guest!
Well that’s all she wrote this week. As you can see I’m not feeling hopeful about Valentine’s Day but at least i know P0ker H0 loves me. He actually named a sandwhich on his bar menu after me – the “P0ker J0 chicken sandwhich” at Players Sports Bar in Madison. I really need to head that way and sample it for myself one day!
Have a great week!
P0ker J0
