Ultimate Bet Online Championship Pays Out Millions
Feb 1, 2009By: Jeremy Olson The Ultimate Bet Online Championship is quickly becoming one of the biggest online poker series in the world. The UBOC is a huge event where millions of dollars in prize money is given out over the course of several tournaments. The UBOC 3 handed out over $2.5 million in total prize money and the last tournament of the event featured an enormous prize pool of $1,115,000.
1,115 players entered the $1,000 buy-in event and yungmoney209 took first place while earning $245,188 for the victory. But yungmoney209 wasn’t the only big winner in the UBOC 3 since there was a total of 12 tournaments held. Here are the other winners in the UBOC 3:
UBOC Event #1: OUTLAWNYC1; $15,480
UBOC Event #2: domga1975; $47,000
UBOC Event #3: _trevor_; $17,753

The Ultimate Bet Online Championship happens approximately every year and the prize money in the event keeps growing every year as well. With Ultimate Bet joining the CEREUS network, next year’s total UBOC prize pool could be off the charts! Plus the variety of tournaments offered has really expanded too with Omaha, H.O.R.S.E., Pot Limit Omaha, Sniper tournaments, and Texas Hold’em all being offered.
Of course there are plenty of tournaments to keep people busy until the next UBOC comes around. The Sunday $200,000 Guaranteed is one of these tournaments and the best thing is that it happens every week. This is by far one of the biggest Sunday tournaments around since most rooms only offer a $100,000 Guaranteed on this day. And those that can’t afford the $200 + $15 buy-in to the $200,000 Guaranteed can still get in through satellites. The winner of the $200K Sunday tournament always earns over $40,000 and the top 10 players get their name on the Ultimate Bet website.
In addition to the $200,000 Guaranteed and the UBOC series, there are also a number of other great things going on at Ultimate Bet. Right now UB is giving people a chance to win an $8,000 prize that will see them playing poker in the Alpine Mountains. Dubbed the PokerNews Cup Austria, the $8K packages will cover the buy-in to the Main Event and all accommodations as well.
Another cool at Ultimate Bet is that they are allowing people to play in satellite tournaments for the chance to attend one of the biggest Playboy Mansion parties of the year. The Kandy Masquerade takes place on February 28th and Ultimate Bet is giving people the chance to attend this event absolutely free! And sports fans will really love the fact that UB is giving away Super Bowl XLIII tickets as well.
So if you want to play in multi-million poker series, battle for a share of $200,000 every Sunday, win free Super Bowl tickets, or attend some of the coolest parties on the planet then Ultimate Bet is definitely the place to play.
