ARMYDOCTOR Tops Yearly Online Poker Tournament Leaderboard Competition at UltimateBet
Miami, FL (PRWeb) Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - Leading online poker site UltimateBet today revealed the top winner of its yearly leaderboard competition for 2008 and announced the date of its $20,000 freeroll for the top 100 players of the year.
UltimateBet’s yearly leaderboard competition wrapped up with ARMYDOCTOR taking the top spot and securing a first place prize of $5,000. NIBBLER and MAHI-MAHI claimed spots two and three, winning $3,000 and $2,000 respectively.
The $5,000 prize money ARMYDOCTOR pocketed for his leaderboard success coupled with money earned throughout the year at the tables will go towards a few choice buy-ins for online and land-based tournaments, including this year’s WSOP, plus help fund his month-long vacation in China.
“Taking top honors in the leaderboard at UB is a huge boost to my confidence and to my game. I’m really proud of my result, and now my main aim for 2009 is to defend my leaderboard crown,” said ARMYDOCTOR, who’s being playing online since mid-2006.
To climb to the top of the leaderboard, the winning player collected the most points by doing well in a lot of big tournaments. UltimateBet employs a unique tournament leaderboard point formula, designed to account for the varying levels of skill in different buy-in tournaments and the number of players in a tournament. The higher a player cashes in a tournament, and the bigger the prize pool, the more points he or she will earn.
A $20,000 freeroll will be held at UltimateBet on January 25th, open exclusively to the top 100 finishers on the site’s 2008 Yearly leaderboard.
“Our top leaderboard winners have a lot to be proud of today,” said 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. “Several of our top leaderboard players have cashed for tens of thousands of dollars at the online poker tables. The free cash from UltimateBet only makes playing online poker even more lucrative. I love this game.”
Players are automatically enrolled into the site’s weekly, monthly and yearly leaderboard competitions. Full details on UltimateBet’s tournament leaderboard competitions for 2009 can be found at ultimatebet.com.
