We're just 15 minutes away from the start of Event 1 of the UltimateBet Online Championship, and all systems are go. We're well over the 500 players needed to make the prize pool bigger than the $100,000 guarantee for this event, and perusing the entry list it looks like many of the best online poker players in the world will be vying for this 6-handed title. Including Team UltimateBet's Annie Duke, Jim "KrazyKanuck" Worth, Shawn Rice, Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon, and Gary "debo34" DiBernardi.
As an extra bonus in tonight's event, the player who eliminates poker pro Mark Seif wins double their buy-in back. A little something to think about if you take your seat and find Mark sitting at your table, his virtual eyes locked on your chips.
Less than 10 minutes to go, and we're up to 560 entrants. A very good start indeed.
