UltimateBet dishing out UBOC seats Saturday

By Sarah Polson

UltimateBet is continuing the giving spirit of the holidays this Saturday by giving out at least 100 seats to the upcoming UltimateBet Million Dollar UBOC Championship.

The 100-seat Guaranteed tournament will cost $120+$10 to get into, or players can satellite into it before Saturday for much less.  It promises to pay out at least 100 entries to the UBOC $1 million Championship taking place Jan. 18.

The UBOC 2009 will kick off Jan. 9, and is expected to be UltimateBet's biggest online poker tournament series yet.

It will feature 22 guaranteed events, two of which will have $1 million guarantees, and there will be a more than $3 million guaranteed prize pool in total.

Making up 10 of the 22 events is a parallel series being billed as Mini UBOC. Each UBOC event, with the exception of the two, $1 million tournaments, will be mirrored by a separate Mini UBOC event where online poker players can buy in for approximately 10% of the corresponding UBOC event and compete for a lucrative prize pool.

The UBOC itself will feature a mix of popular online poker games including No-Limit Texas Hold'em, H.O.R.S.E., Pot-Limit Omaha and more.
