Greg Wood, Racing Correspondent for The Guardian, walked away from the virtual poker table with the grand prize in UltimateBet.com’s “UK press only” Freeroll promotional online poker tournament held April 16th. The tournament was held to promote the upcoming UltimateBet.com Guineas Festival races in Newmarket to the press. Greg’s composure and obvious poker skill paid off in this high-stakes game, netting him a trip for two to Aruba (valued at 10,000 USD) where he will participate in the UltimateBet.com Poker Classic and play for a guaranteed prize pool of 4,000,000.

“Winning it all thanks to the penultimate card, after starting the final hand as poor second-favourite with a pair of 10’s against a pair of Queens, was a real punch-the-air moment.“ The final table play was fast and furious and with over 140 people watching this online poker table, it was an exciting match to the end.

UltimateBet.com (UB) is a world-leader in online poker and the title sponsor of the UltimateBet.com Guineas 1000, 2000, and Jockey Club Stakes, held at the Newmarket Racecourse on May 1st and 2nd, 2004. When asked he thought about playing poker on the UltimateBet.com’s online poker site, Greg responded, “I thought that the site was very easy to use, even though I hadn’t played more than a couple of hands there before, and it was a real buzz to be up against my press-room colleagues. It was fascinating to watch the fortunes ebb and flow as the tournament developed.”

“UltimateBet.com is committed to providing the best quality experience in online poker,“ stated professional poker player Annie Duke and member of Team UB. “If you are looking for an Internet poker site that you can trust, UltimateBet.com offers the most realistic and highest quality experience in online, poker, designed by the best professionals in the industry.”

“Watching the Freeroll press poker game progress was fun and exciting for me as a professional,“ Duke continued. “Having consulted with UltimateBet.com to design their world-class online poker site, it is especially gratifying to see how thrilled and how much fun the press had sitting down to play No Limit Texas Holdem – they played like the pros.”
