WSOP 2008 Satellites

WSOP* 2008 SATELLITES

Recommended Poker Rooms - Ultimate Bet

Ultimate Bet, the Poker room that "virtually the whole world plays on" - OK its a bold claim and to be fair probably just marketing lingo, as if there were 6 billion players at UB then very little would get done in the rest of the world!

Nevertheless, one particular professional calls this site home, none other than that most succesefull Series player of all time, some hate him, a few despise him, and even fewer like him, but with 10 World Series of Poker* wins under his belt and lifetime poker earnings in the tens of millions, who can argue that Phil "the Brat" Hellmuth is the worlds best ever tournament player!
