If you are looking to play in an offline poker tournament this year, you would be hard pressed to find a better setting than the Aruba Poker Classic. $4 million bucks in the prize pool, with 1 million guaranteed to the winner. Toss in poker pros Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke, the Radisson Aruba Resort and Casino, as well as a load of other poker celebs, and that's what I call fun in the sun!
One problem. The $5500 buyin plus several thousand in traveling and accomodations is a tad expensive. If you are regular ol' Joe poker player, you might want to check out Ultimate Bet's 50 seat guarantee to this event. Finish in the final 50 and UB will award you the $5500 buyin plus $3000 more for traveling expenses.
Saturday September 13th at 5:30pm ET is your last shot at satelliting into the Aruba Classic via these 50 seat guarantees at Ultimate Bet. Direct buyin to the satellite is $530, and you can win your way in for just a few bucks by playing qualifiers to the 50 seat guarantee.
If you are ready to give it a shot, start by downloading Ultimate Bet. They are one of the largest online poker rooms, so this promotion is just another in a long line of huge events put on every year.
