UB.com Sponsor for Calgary Flames
Poker players who are also hockey fans will want to take advantage of a new alliance between an online poker site and the Calgary Flames.
The Flames, a National Hockey League team, signed a sponsorship deal recently with Ultimatebet (www.ultimatebet.com) that will result in four players winning tickets to the Flames’ March 11 game against the Ottawa Senators.
Players interested in this deal should play in the site’s poker rooms during the January tournament, which includes up to eight Texas Hold ‘em held at three-hour intervals. The top 100 players from each event will be able to attend one of the four main events on successive Sundays throughout January.
In the end four players will emerge victorious, winning $1,000 in cash for travel expenses and tickets to the March 11 game.
As part of the sponsorship arrangement, UB.com will receive logo placement on rink boards at the Flames’ home arena, Pengrowth Saddledome. Other promotions might include additional contests and giveaways.
In order to mix up the poker and hockey world further, one randomly chosen hockey fan will be drawn at one of the upcoming Flames games to win tickets to the hospitality suite at the March 11 game. The random winner will have to outsmart poker great Phil Hellmuth in a game of “truth or bluff”.
