New Tournament Schedule @ Ultimate Bet
So, now that they’ve got Annie Duke on board at Ultimate Bet, they’ve asked her to fix up their tournament schedule (that’s the story anyway) to make it more lucrative for players. Here are some of the recent changes under my least favorite poker player’s reign:
- Sniper tournaments with guarantees (essentially bounty tournaments)
- $1.2 million in weekly guarantees in all tourneys
- Nightly deep-stack tournaments wherein players start with 5,000 in chips (for tourneys with buy-ins of $109 and higher) or 3,000 in starting chips (for tourneys with buy-ins low than that)
- Short-, super short-, and mega short-stack satellites give players more options to qualify for larger events, even up to an hour before the event takes place
- $1 turbo rebuy $5,000-guaranteed tournaments for which players can win their seats for as little as 6¢
- Sit-and-go satellites for all major events on the site
- $200,000-guaranteed tournament every Sunday
Sure, cool, I’m sure she had a lot to do with it. Sniper tournaments are nice though. Uh, I can’t look at that head.
