RuffPoker.com And Ultimate Bet Announce Joint World Series Poker Promotion

    LAS VEGAS, NV, June 18, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Professional and amateur poker players alike are in a state of intense excitement this time of year. Once again, the World Series of Poker is underway and players from all over the world are locked in fierce competition. The annual tournament draws the world's best players who vie to win millions in cash and more importantly, the title of World Poker Championb. Many of the events of the series are televised and streamed on the web to a large viewing audience, themselves on the edge of their seats.

A significant number of the fans who tune in to the tournament on television or over the net are themselves amateur players, whether they enjoy a weekly poker night with friends or play competitively online. There are doubtless many of these players who watch the tournament and think to themselves "I could do that"; this year, the poker websites RuffPoker.com and UltimateBet are offering them the opportunity to do just that, as Ruff Poker spokesman Matt LeBlonc explains.

"We're thrilled to be able to partner with Ultimate Bet to provide the fans with a chance to make it to the World Series of Poker. We know that there are a lot of players out there who have the skills to go toe to toe with the professionals; there are plenty of players who use RuffPoker.com who could not only get in on this tournament, but have a real chance at winning."

"Since Ruff Poker's mission is to provide the poker playing community with reliable information on the game and being the highest quality poker resource online or off, it's only natural that we want our readers to be able to get in on the World Series of Poker. The main events are coming up in July and we want to make sure that our audience gets a shot at the big time too. Ultimate Bet feels the same way, so we're offering a joint promotion to give players chance to qualify for as little as ten cents! Just use Ultimate Bet Referral Code when signing up and account. We'll be giving away a lot of prizes too - including $10 million to any player who enters the tournament through our promotion and comes away the Champion!"

With the prize won by the World Series of Poker Champion already estimated to be in the neighborhood of $10 million in this year's series, this joint promotion by RuffPoker.com and UltimateBet.com is certain to add to the already intense excitement around next month's finale, draw many new players into the tournament and maybe, just maybe produce a new World Series of Poker Champion.
