The top poker rooms around the world offer their own championship events each year. PokerStars hosts the WCOOP events, Full Tilt the FTOPS, Titan Poker the ECOOP, and Absolute Poker and its sister site Ultimate Bet host the UBOC in January.
The UBOC events feature a total of eighteen tournaments over a twelve day period. There will be two tournaments with one million dollar guaranteed prize pools, and a total of $4 million will be awarded during the twelve days of festivities. There’s something for everyone at the UBOC events, with the tournament formats varying from No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit, Deepstack, Knockout, Omaha and others.
Players that win one of the UBOC tournaments will receive cash money and a luxurious commemorative watch.
But since not all players can afford the buy-ins to the UBOC events, there is a second option opened to all players; the mini-UBOC tournaments will have big guaranteed prize pools for a fraction of the cost. Their buy-ins are capped at $30 dollars and the prize pools go up to $20K. A total of sixteen mini-UBOC tournaments are scheduled and will be played simultaneously with the UBOC events.
Satellites for all events have started, so there are many ways to enter each tourney. There will be a mini-UBOC leaderboard and players who finish in the top positions will receive points. At the end of the festivities the leader will receive a commemorative watch.
