UltimateBetPoker announced the initiation of a new, rewarding poker challenge deemed the ‘Tour of Duty Challenge'. In this new battle for the big bucks, players at the online poker room will have a chance to earn their share of $260,000 every month playing both ring games and tournaments (sit’n’go and multi-table).
The UltimateBetPoker.com Tour of Duty is a leaderboard style challenge, with divisions of winners for ring games, and another 3 divisions for tournament players. The medal-winning divisions are classified as 5-star, 3-star and 1-start. In order to qualify for a division in the tour of Duty Challenge, players must collect a certain number of RAI$E Status Points each day, for a specific number of days. The more days a player collects the needed RAI$E Status Points, the higher division they will qualify for.
All players who qualify for a division will be automatically entered into a Freeroll competition to take place on the first Saturday after the 14th of the month, the value of which is determined by the division. There will be a total of 6 divisions and Freeroll tournaments. The 6 winners of these FreePoker tournaments will then move on to take part in one of two 3-man tournaments with a $5,000 winner-takes-all prize. The winners of these two tournaments go on to face each other heads-up in another $5,000 tourney, with a chance to take on Phil Hellmuth with a prize worth up to $50,000.
"There's more than just honor at stake in UltimateBet's Tour of Duty Challenge," relayed UltimateBetPoker.net Cardroom Consultant, Annie Duke. "We're turning poker chips into weaponry, poker tables into battlefields and players at UltimateBet into 5 Star Generals."
The UltimateBetPoker Tour of Duty, a part of the new UltimateBetPoker Army program, runs from the 15th of each month, up until the 14th of the following month.
