Ultimate Bet Runs World Series of Poker Qualifiers

Would you like to play in the World Series of Poker main event?  Are you a little tapped out right now but still want to play?  You can make it happen with a mere ten cents with Ultimate Bet’s Step 1 qualifiers.  The ever popular online poker site has recently announced that it has begun running World Series of Poker satellites and is one of the first major poker sites to start running qualifiers for the main event which will get under way at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino on July 3.

Ultimate Bet has also taken the bold step in announcing that it will award an extra $10 million sponsorship deal to any Ultimate Bet Steps winner who makes his or her way through the massive field and manages to win the world championship.  Last year, Peter Eastgate took over Ultimate Bet pro Phil Hellmuth’s place as the youngest person to ever win the main event, earning more than $9.1 million for his incredible performance.

With Ultimate Bet sweetening the deal, the qualifier could theoretically get close to $20 million if he or she takes down the big prize.  Ultimate Bet as well as its sister site Absolute Poker are running steps qualifiers, which means a player must win his or her sit and go before moving on to the next round.  There are 10 steps in all.  A player can buy directly into any step of their choice although the $10 million promotion is only eligible to players who started at Step 1.  The first 10 players who step at Step 1 and manage to go the distance to win a WSOP entry will also win a bonus $7,500 prize package to the Ultimate Bet Aruba Poker Classic.  Be sure to log onto Ultimate Bet to see a complete schedule of the Steps qualifiers.
