Topping Off The Week

It's been a busy week here at UltimateBet. Monday saw the premiere of The Best Damn Poker Show, as Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke began their review of 36 players hoping to make the cut and join Phil and Annie's teams. Tuesday we introduced our new RAI$E player reward program, which will give everyone who plays at UB a chance to rack up UltimatePoints and spend them in the new UB Store of our Auction site.

On the physical felt Annie Duke qualified for the sixth and final spot at the Grand Final of the PartyPoker Premier League, doing so by outlasting David "DevilFish" Ulliot in a best-of-five heads-up battle for that last spot. But Annie was the first player eliminated--by Alex Kravchenko, who rivered a seven with 8-7 to beat Annie's A-J. Ouch, though she did win $20,000 for her sixth-place finish.

And of course our $200,000 Sunday Guaranteed Tournament is about to kick off. Right now we're about 100 players short of that magical 1,000 field, but there are still a few minutes left for a big last-second rush. So, stop reading this RIGHT NOW and log onto UltimateBet!
