Ordinarily, in a satellite tournament awarding free entry into a major land-based poker tournament, only the first place winner gets the prize. But not in the case of Ultimate Bet Poker's 50-Seat Satellite Guarantee, held in honor of the site's 50th Anniversary, in which the top 50 players will all win seats in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, a buy-in worth $10,000.
In addition, each of these 50 winners will also receive travel expense money and hotel accommodations for the event. What's more, if a player sent to the 2009 WSOP Main Event by UltimateBet Poker actually wins the event, UB will pay that winner an additional $10 million in bonus money on top of the prize money already awarded him or her for winning the World Series of Poker main event.
The 50-seat guarantee costs $530 to enter and will be held on June 21. One tournament, fifty winners - Happy 50th Anniversary indeed. |
