The Wonders of the Internet

Over the last two days one of the greatest non-sporting sporting events in the world was held--the NFL Draft. Years ago the Draft was followed by a small cadre of die-hard fanatics, but these days the Draft is followed by millions of fans who track every pick during the event itself and spend months obsessively reading analysis beforehand. Much of this explosion of interest can be directly attributed to the Internet, where scores of websites and hundreds of writers crank out endless info for fans to gobble up.

The Internet, of course, has played a central role in the poker boom. Think about how hard it would be to host a LIVE weekly tournament where you expected 1,000 players to show up. Just arranging for the bottled water and toilet paper would be a logistical nightmare.

Whereas we host a tournament every Sunday here at UltimateBet that draws around a thousand players from the four corners of the earth. Week in, week out, come rain or come shine, our $200,000 Sunday Guaranteed Tournament will kick off at 5pm EST. And, as always, if you knock out one of our Team UltimateBet pros (including P0ker H0, debo34, Shawn Rice, or Scott Ian) and you'll win your $200+15 buy-in back.

The Sunday Guaranteed Tournament starts in just under an hour. You're on the clock.
