UltimateBetPoker announced Monday the release of the 2009 UBOC (UltimateBetPoker.com Online Championship) poker series schedule, including satellite competitions awarding seats in the 2009 UBOC Main Event.
In its 3rd installment, next year’s UBOC Series will feature a 22-event schedule including two $1 million guaranteed prize pools, and more than $3 million in overall prize money. From January 9-18, 2009, UltimateBet will host the online poker championship, with satellites having already started Monday, September 15th.
Ten of the twenty-two events are scheduled as “UBOC Mini-Series” tournaments, designed to parallel all regular UBOC events, with the exception of the two $1m GTDs. Mini-Series UBOC events will feature a 1/10th buy-in of the actual event it is set to mirror, with a 1/10th prize pool up for grabs. This gives everyone at UltimateBetPoker, regardless of bankroll size and experience, an equal chance at profiteering from the extraordinary online poker series.
“This is unbelievably massive,” commented UltimateBetPoker’s cardroom consultant, Annie Duke. “In keeping with our commitment to delivering more of what online poker players demand, we’re raising the stakes in our 3rd UBOC series by throwing over $3 million in guarantees into the mix.”
Though UBOC-2 was not nearly as large as the upcoming 3rd installment, Maria Nuccia felt no disappointment when she took down the UBOC-2 Main Event for a heavenly 1st place prize of $168,450.
Daily satellites to UBOC-3 start as low as $3 + $.30. Visit UltiamteBetPoker.com for a complete schedule of 2009 UBOC-3 events and ongoing satellites with seats in UltimateBetPoker’s massive online poker series up for grabs.
