Online poker room UltimateBetPoker proudly announced the signing of Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy as the latest addition to its impressive list of UltimateBetPoker.net Pros. While the online poker room has had recent troubles of late, this latest endorsement is sure to spark the interest of new online players, as well as veterans who enjoy a competitive battle against a proven pro.
Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy is one of only a few professional poker players who can claim more than $1,000,000 earned in live poker tournaments, as well as $1,000,000+ in online poker tournaments. Josephy’s largest live tournament win came as a 2nd place finish at the 2006 UltimateBetPoker Aruba Poker Classic, earning $440k. Josephy also earned a WSOP Bracelet in 2005, besting the field at a $1,500 Seven Card Stud event. His current grand total of live tournament cashes exceeds $1.3 million.
UltimateBet's reputation has suffered somewhat in the last year due to its association with Absolute Poker, taking a heavy media beating after an expensive cheating scandal. Both online poker rooms are owned by Tokwiro Enterprises, hence the connection and mixed reaction of online poker players.
UltimateBetPoker.com has watched as Full Tilt took on an influx of professional poker players joining the Full Tilt Pro Team, but UltimateBetPoker believes this latest endorsement will turn things around for them ten-fold.
Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy now sits evenly among a host of other UltimateBet Pros that includes Scott Ian, Shawn Rice, Mark “P0ker H0” Kroon and Gary “Debo34” DeBernardi.
