Lock Up Your Seat

The busiest part of the poker calendar is upon us. The European Poker Tour's Grand Final just wrapped up and the Bellagio Five Diamonds Classic is under way, culminating in the $25,000 WPT Championship. After that there's the briefest of pauses before the seven-week marathon that is the World Series of Poker.
With so many huge tournaments packed in such a narrow window it's easy to lose focus on your long-term prospects, which is why I'm here. Here to remind you that the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic is scheduled for September 27 thru October 4th, and that tonight UltimateBet is offering our players an outstanding opportunity to secure a seat in poker paradise.
At 8:30pm ET UB is hosting a 25-seat satellite for the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic. The players who qualify in this $500+30 satellite will win their $5,500 entry fee as well as $3,000 for travel and accomodations. If the field is large enough to swell the prize pool above the guarantee UB will hand out additional seats to the Classic. If the field isn't quite big enough to meet the guaranteed amount, no matter--UltimateBet will be awarding 25 seats (at least!) tonight.
Imagine having a trip to the Aruba Poker Classic to look forward to all summer. And imagine that you don't actually have to WIN the tournament to lock up your seat--you just need to finish among the top 25. Just be there at the end and you'll have a whole week to lay on the beach, swim in the blood-warm Caribbean...and maybe play a little poker.
Or, maybe, play a lot of poker--UltimateBet is guaranteeing a $1 million first prize at this year's Classic, and an expected $4 million total prize pool. When you consider the money at stake, an elite field that includes many of best players in the world, and the fact it's held in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, the 2008 Classic figures to be one of the crown jewels of poker. You don't want to miss it. And tonight you have an excellent chance to book your ticket.
