Ultimate Bet Online Championship finally ended after an arduous 10 day schedule of poker competitions. It has eventually ended on a high note this week with $1,000,000 Guaranteed Main Event.
At the final table, 2 experienced playerS Phil Hellmuth and Nick Geber taking the centre stage.
This big event, in all has drawn in several players around 1300, each of whom bought in at $500 + 30 for the entry fee, delivering a $300 000 overlay - claimed to be one of the largest ever in the industry.
It was a real treat to watch all the players competing fiercely and some players even went neck and neck. Altogether, over 140 players received at least a $1 000 check, and all this is for a first prize of $211 500.
The final table came down to Fred420 and Maria Nuccia. Both these players were facing off in the heads up. In fact, it was Fred420, who was holding the dominant lead. However, Maria Nuccia doubled through on a single key hand, to take the match right down to the wire.
Finally, the two players have agreed on an equal split for the remaining prize money, and have continued further for the title.
Maria Nuccia has taken control by doubling almost all the chips. After that Maria claimed the title on a hand, which contained A-7 to Fred420's A-3. It was actually a flopped 7 that has sealed the game for the ecstatic Nuccia.
The Main Prize was equally divided, each getting $168,450 along with the title.
