Ultimate Bet, currently boasting over two million registered players, took the world by storm last year with its highly successful Ultimate Bet Online Championship.

For ten incredible days, players enjoyed thirteen landmark events, tournaments and promotions that culminated in a million dollar grand finale and one of the best poker happenings the industry has known for a long time.

Basking in the success of UBOC 2006, UltimateBet.com has launched OBOC2 that will run from December 6th to December 16th, 2007. This event promises to be bigger, wilder and definitely more profitable this year. Players can take part in thirteen events with a collective prize pool of over $2-million! A definite incentive if ever there was one! 

However, one of the main reasons for giving the Ultimate Bet Online Championship a shot is the fact that players get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play against two of the greatest names in poker. During the period of the tournament, Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke will be playing in a number of events that are sure to drive the crowds wild. Any player who manages to knock out either of these players wins the ultimate prize – a 20 minute poker lesson with one of the world’s biggest poker pros. 

Said George Maclean, a spokesman for Ultimate Bet: "UBOC is all about playing like a pro and winning like a champion. By adding lessons with these legendary poker professional to the mix, we're elevating the $2-million series to an exciting new level." 

Most poker players would give an arm and a leg to be able to learn one on one from Hellmuth – an 11 times World Series of Poker bracelet winner, or Annie Duke – one of the poker industry’s most successful players and personalities. The Ultimate Bet Online Championship can make dreams come true! 

For as little as $5.50, players can qualify for any one of the 13 satellite UBOC events with a total prize pool of $2-million. The event boasts a magnificent $100,000 Leader Board competition, as well as the ultimate main prize – a $1000 + 50 No Limit Texas Hold ‘em event with no less than $750,000 up for grabs!  

Besides a wide range of events throughout this week, two exciting competitions will take place on Saturday 15th – a $75-K guaranteed No-Limit Hold ‘em and $150-K Guaranteed Pot Limit Omaha game. The final guaranteed-prize event will be held on Sunday December 16th at 5 pm.
