			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UB.com is running an exciting promotion for its players. It is offering players the chance to win a date with Tiffany Michelle. </p>
<p>Tiffany Michelle is an actress and she is also a poker pro. This should make for an exciting evening for the lucky winner. They will find themselves on a date with a beautiful woman that can talk poker with them. </p>
<p>In the summer of 2008, Tiffany Michelle became the female poker player to outlast all of the other female poker players who were competing in the WSOP Main Event. Since then she has been kept in the public eye through a variety of her endeavors. </p>
<p>UB.com players can now try for the chance to do out on a date with her. The online poker site has announced it will be holding a $2,000 freeroll for its players which will offer a prize pool, as well as a date with Tiffany. </p>
<p>UB.com is planning to run more tournaments such as this one and the Team UB members are making themselves available as part of the prize package. </p>
<p>The team has something to try for. The team member who attracts the most entrants will get a nice night out and the member with the fewest entrants will act as their concierge. This means the pros are going to be trying to come up with some great ways to entice UB players to choose them. </p>
<p>This is a unique prize idea which should draw in a lot of attention and excitement from the UB.com players. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UB.com is running a great promotion which is sure to make their players excited. This promotion will run from April 1st and go through until the 30th of the month. </p>

<p>The launch of this great promotion is just one of many of the great things UB.com has in store for the players at their online casino. </p>
<p>UB.com has stated that they have revamped the casino for 2010 and it will be working hard to keep its community up to date regarding any promotions or events they will be offering. </p>
<p>They have said that players can expect more exciting and unique games like nothing before. The online casino wants to reward their players like they have never been rewarded before. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A nationally televised MMA promotion, the Bellator Fighting Championship, has gone into an exclusive sponsorship alliance with one of the leaders in online poker, UB.net. </p>
<p>This is a partnership which is definitely a one of a kind and it is designed to bring about a very powerful online presence for both companies. </p>
<p>This partnership is going to introduce Bellator to the millions of online poker players who visit the UB site each and every month. It will also make UB.net a familiar site to the MMA fans through Bellators TV presence. </p>
<p>Both sides are eager to see what positive things this partnership will lead to. It is expected to drastically increase the awareness of both names and open the door to a whole new crop of followers on each side. </p>
<p>The terms of the agreement give UB.net a great presence on the broadcasts for Bellator, as well as the website, Bellator.com. </p>
<p>Bellator will also be given a large presence on the UB.net site. The site will also have sponsored tournaments which will give away cage-side seats to Bellator fighting events. </p>
<p>This is one partnership which one may not have seen coming and it may seem to be an odd pairing. However, this may just be a partnership which will end up being the perfect match. </p>
<p>It‚Äôs easy to see how the two will really increase the awareness of the other which may not have been done otherwise. This may just be a match that will do even more than it had been intended to. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At this exciting tournament there will be something for everyone. Players that will be lucky enough to win one of the tournaments will get cash prizes and a special watch to remember the event. Two of the tournaments guarantee a prize pool of $1 million and $4 million dollars in guarantees will be offered as the total prize pools for the series.</p>
<p>There will be a good range of poker games with varying buy-ins but for many players these buy-ins will be way too expensive so they will be pleased to know that the organizers have arranged mini-UBOC tournaments which will include sixteen tournaments and will be played at the same time as the main tournaments but at the much more affordable buy-in prices of $10- $30, with prizes that could go up to $20K which is understandably considerably lower than the prizes being offered in the main UBOC tournaments.</p>
<p>If you are interested in participating in either the UBOC main or mini events satellites are already running and you can start earning your seats. There are a number of ways to enter the tournaments and you can check these out at both <a href="http://pokersite.gamesandluck.com/english/absolutepoker" title="visit Absolute Poker" target="_blank"><strong>Absolute Poker</strong></a> and <a href="http://pokersite.gamesandluck.com/english/ultimatebet" title="visit UltimateBet" target="_blank"><strong>UB</strong></a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Top online poker room, <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/poker/ultimatebet.html" title="more about Ultimate Bet">Ultimate Bet</a>, has completed its make-over and has re-launched its new website and image as UB.com.  Ultimate Bet hopes to make greater strides into the next generation of online poker through this move, gathering around its new image some of the industry‚Äôs best professional players and filling its tournament schedule with non-stop action.</p>
<p>Paul Legget, the Chief Operating Officer for Tokwiro Enteprises, which owns UB and its sister site <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/poker/absolutepoker.html" title="more about Absolute Poker">Absolute Poker</a> under the Cereus Network brand, said: <em>‚ÄúThe launch of UB.com represents a turning point for our company. We have assembled a great group of professionals who are passionate about poker to build the UB brand. Our goal is to create products and services that poker players really want.‚Äù</em><br />
Some of the top players associated with UB.com include Phil Hellmuth who said that in the ten years that he had been part of the Ultimate Bet family, he had never been prouder to represent the company as much as he was at present. <em>‚ÄúWe have great people captaining the ship, we have a great vibe and some serious swagger,‚Äù</em> he said. <em>‚ÄúI look forward to the day when we are the largest poker site on the planet.&quot;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To the delight of online poker players, <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/poker/absolutepoker.html" title="more about Absolute Poker">Absolute Poker</a> and <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/poker/ultimatebet.html" title="more about Ultimate Bet">Ultimate Bet</a> are incorporating synchronized 5 minute tournament breaks across the majority of their online tournaments.<br />In adopting a precedent first set by PokerStars and Full Tilt, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet‚Äôs 5 minute breaks will run 55 minutes past the hour up to the top of the hour (i.e. 6:55 ‚Äì 7:00 for example).</p>
<p>The news from both poker rooms operating on the <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/pokernetworks/cereusnetwork" title="sites in the Cereus network">Cereus network</a> benefits poker players by giving them specific times to leave for the toilet/other duties without having to suffer blinds and antes during important stages of the tournament.<br />Exceptions to the synchronized break policy include tournaments late in the registration phase, as well as those who are currently running on the first blind level. Turbo tournaments will also skip the break for the first two levels.</p>
<p>Multi-Table SNGs will also not be participating in the break structure, however an official statement from the Cereus Network said this would be reviewed, and that current players should check whether or not there‚Äôs a break on the lobby screen for the time being.</p>
<p>The first synchronized breaks policy was developed and introduced by <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/poker/fulltiltpoker.html" title="more about Full Tilt Poker">Full Tilt Poker</a> in April, with leading online room <a href="http://www.gamesandluck.com/poker/pokerstars.html" title="more about PokerStars">PokerStars</a> following suit in August. The concept has already proven to be a big hit among stern poker players, and will presumably be followed by other poker rooms in the foreseeable future as an industry standard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>In a like for like swoop, Liv Boeree, the former ambassador for popular poker room site Absolute Poker, has left old ways and moved to Team Ultimate Bet.</strong></p>
<p>The news, which was announced by the Tokwiro-owned poker rooms, will place Liv Boeree alongside ‚ÄòApprentice‚Äô runner-up Annie Duke, along with legendary 11 World Series of Poker Bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. Quickly grabbing the chance to make the high brow move to work alongside two of her poker idols, Beoree said, <em>‚ÄúIt‚Äôs an honor to play with the two people who helped launch my poker career. Annie and Phil are two of my favorite players, so to sit on the same team as them is a bit of a surreal experience, but one I‚Äôm definitely proud of.‚Äù</em> Boeree was speaking of her UltimatePoker.com Showdown experience, where she received one on one coaching from pro poker starlet Annie Duke in 2005. She also noted it was on UltimatePoker.com Showdown when she became agog and inspired by Phil Hellmuth‚Äôs world domination play.</p>
<p>Before joining Absolute Poker, Boeree had a successful and dynamic career working at a number of media organisations and gaming affiliates environments. This includes working on poker-based TV show Gutshot TV, the Daily Express, as well as the entertaining Channel TV. Working as a reporter, her good looks and gregarious personality made her a shooting star, becoming a well-known successful live poker tournament reporter around the world. Indeed, her poker reporting career also increased her knowledge and professional experience in the game, giving her a greater predilection for the skill-based game.  Last January, her ever increasing poker skills guided her to a 7th place finish in the AUD $1,000 Hold‚Äôem tournament in the widely acclaimed Aussie Million tournament in Australia. Her leapfrog to stardom, and the professional poker stage however, came after storming the World Poker Tour Championship (WPT) coming 1st in one tournament, 3rd in another, and finishing a respectable 37th for the $25,000 Main Event! Before long, Boeree was winning thousands of dollars in most the tournaments she entered, including winning the $2000 Ladbrokes Poker European Ladies Championship for a grandiose $42,000.</p>
<p>Other members in Team Ultimate Bet (UB) that Boeree will play along include Brandon Cantu, who recently joined Team UB in June after winning the $1500 Pot Limit Omaha WSOP 2009 tournament for $228,000. Before this, Cantu also cashed in $403,000 after coming 2nd in the $1500 No Limit Hold‚Äôem tournament.<br />Other players at Team UB, include bracelet winner Matt Graham (who won the $10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Omaha event), Hollywood man Dave Stann, Tiffany Michelle, Shawn Rice, Michael Binger, Gary Debernardi and Mark Kroon.</p>
