UB.com launches 2011 WSOP satellites and special promos

UB.com is giving players the chance to represent the site, compete in the world's largest poker tournament in the world and get some Main Event glory with its 2011 WSOP satellite schedule and a revamped Show Up, Get Paid promotion available from Sunday, March 6th to July 3rd.

Qualify for the 2011 World Series of Poker on UB by winning a Main Event Package worth $12K, either all the way from a $0.10 STEP 1 tournament, or by taking part in one of the many $500+$30 buy-in Super Satellites running from March 6th to July 3rd (satellite qualifiers for as low as $10 will run for every $500+$30 Super Satellite). In addition, UB will host two 25-seat Guaranteed tournaments at 16:00 ET on Sunday, June 12th and on Sunday June 26th, set to award at least 50 WSOP Main Event packages across the pair of big seat giveaways.

"With Show Up, Get Paid we are making it even easier for our players to make their way to Vegas for the WSOP in 2011, plus there's so many different ways for players to qualify. The Team UB crew will be out in full force this Summer so you never know, you may wind up chatting poker with Prahlad Friedman or sharing strategy in the UB suite with Maria Ho or Eric Baldwin. Be sure to win your seat on UB and get there!" said Team UB's Joe Sebok.

Besides the $12.000 Main Event, the online poker site is giving away additional cash prizes through its Show Up, Get Paid promotion. Qualify at UB, turn up at the tables in Las Vegas, and take a seat in the Main Event sporting the UB brand; you automatically bank the $1,000 cash bonus even if your Aces get cracked, you suffer a bead beat and bust early on, just for showing up, and all before the cards are even in the air. There's also more money up for grabs in the form of a final table sponsorship deal to players who go deep enough to score a place in the November Nine. No matter how much longer a player survives this final fling at the felt, there's extra money up to a $1 Million just by representing UB at the 2011 WSOP Main Event final table.

Closing the list of Vegas promotions is a competition that makes it worthwhile for poker players to win multiple $12,000 WSOP prize packages. The "King of Satellites" board competition will award over $10,000 in Tournament Dollars to the top 5 players who win the most Main Event seats. The extra Tournament Dollars are in addition to the $12,000 in cash that players will receive for each extra seat won.
