UltimateBet Aruba

As if guaranteeing $425,000 worth of Aruba prize packages isn’t enough of an attraction, UltimateBet has announced that 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth will be playing in Sunday, 5 August’s 50-seat Aruba Satellite.

This $500+30 online event guarantees to pay out at least 50 Aruba prize packages worth $8,500 apiece. Each package includes a $5,000+500 buy-in to the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic and an additional $3,000 for travel and accommodations.

What’s more, the player who manages to bust Hellmuth in August 5th’s tournament will win $1,000.

With 12 satellites running daily, Texas Hold’em players can win their way to Sunday’s 50-Seat Aruba Satellite for as little as $10.

The 2007 Aruba Poker Classic is happening in Aruba from 29 September to 6 October. The week long tournament gives online poker players the chance to celebrate their successes at the tables with poker’s best professionals and compete for a piece of an estimated $2.5 million in prize money. In 2006, Devon Miller captured the title, taking home $774,960 in cash.

Matt Savage, a world-renowned tournament director, is on board to oversee UltimateBet’s signature week long tournament. For more information on the 2007 UltimateBet Aruba Poker Classic, visit UltimateBet.com or ArubaClassic.com.
