Ultimate Bet has beefed up its leaderboard prizes, and top performers will receive entries to some of the biggest tournaments worldwide and online. There’s a total of one million dollars in prizes for the players who reach the top of the weekly, monthly, and yearly leaderboards.
The multi-table tournament leaderboards received the largest benefits in terms of prizes that will be at stake for the top performers. This year, more packages will be awarded to the WSOP main event and the Aruba Poker Classic. Another benefit is that there are more tournament dollars at stake for the leaderboard winners.
The top prize will be awarded to the winner of the yearly tournament leaderboard; the prizes he or she will receive are the $10K seat to the WSOP main event, $5,500 entry to the 2010 APC, and $4,500 in tournament dollars. The top 50 positions in the yearly tournament leaderboard will also receive an invitation to an exclusive tournament that will award three packages to the Aruba Poker Classic.
Each package is worth $8,500, and fourth and fifth place will receive an entry to the main event at the APC.
Monthly winners of the MTT leaderboards will receive a $6,500 APC package, which includes entry to the main event and $1K for traveling expenses. All players who finish second through tenth place will split $7,500 in prizes each month of the year.
Weekly MTT leaderboard winners will receive $1K in tournament dollars, but for January, the prize will be an entry to the UBOC Championship tournament. Players who finish in first place at the SnG leaderboards in the different categories will also receive an entry to the UBOC Championship tournament.
