UB.com (formerly UltimateBet) has just announced two exciting upcoming events that sound like they’re a must for fans of online poker. The first of these events is a pair of $1,000 freeroll tournaments to promote the site’s new brand.
While the lure of a $1,000 prize pool won’t necessarily attract the heavy hitters, that’s only to the advantage of players that are interested in taking part, since they won’t be having to face off against the likes of Phil Helmuth.
If you’d like to take part in the freerolls (which, as their name suggests, cost nothing to enter), they will be taking place on the 13th and 27th of December. Be sure to sign up for a UB.com account ahead of time, though, because your account will need to be at least 24 hours old before you’ll be allowed to play. More details on the UB.com site.
The other major upcoming event is the UB Online Championships, which will be kicking off in January, and are set to be held from the 20th to the 31st. This is the event’s fourth year of operation, and in celebration of that achievement, UB.com are offering guaranteed tournament prize pools in excess of $4 million.
The big highlights of the Championship schedule are two $1 million guaranteed games hosted by UB.com’s very own Phil Helmuth and Annie Duke. Helmuth’s game is a $1,000 + $50 No Limit Hold’em event, while Duke’s is a $2,500 + $100 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em Six Max game.
