UB pledges $10 million for WSOP champion

By PokerListings.com

You've navigated through 6,000 players, ran good at all the right times, won the most coveted prize in all of poker and scooped a roughly $10 million payday.

How about a check for another $10 million?

That's the ultimate carrot on a stick this year for any UltimateBet.com player, as UB has officially pledged to award the WSOP Main Event champion a $10 million bonus if he or she earned the seat in the event through a UB satellite.

Hoping to give a sniff at the $10 million to as many players as possible, in conjunction with the site's 10th anniversary Ultimate Bet is holding a massive 50-seat-guaranteed WSOP Main Event satellite this Sunday, June 21.

The $530 buy-in event is offering up 50 decked-out Main Event packages including:

• $10,000 seat in the WSOP Main Event
• $2,000 in spending money
• Invitations to all special Ultimate Bet anniversary events

With 2009 marking the 20th anniversary of Phil Hellmuth's first WSOP Championship title, you can also bet on the Poker Brat himself will be in attendance for the Ultimate Bet anniversary events.

If you don't want to drop the entire $530 for your seat in the super satellite, you can win your way into a seat through the UB steps events for as little as $0.10.
