UB giving players affordable ways to play

MIAMI, Florida -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- With the start of UBOC5 less than two weeks away, players with limited available bankroll don't have to be left out in the cold, because there's 20 awesome Mini-UBOC events that will mirror all of the main UBOC tournaments, but at a fraction of the cost to buy-in.

The Mini-UBOC schedule has been designed for the small stakes players who still want to be part of the UB community and to participate in the online championship tournament series, but perhaps don't have the big bucks behind them to enter the higher buy-in UBOC events.

For players looking to get in on the UBOC action for less, the Mini-UBOC tournament series, August 18th through 29th, is the perfect solution. Each Mini-UBOC tournament will run concurrently with a UBOC5 event where online players can buy in for a fraction of the buy-in of the corresponding UBOC5 tournament, while competing for an attractive prize pool.

Plus this time, each Mini-UBOC event will be hosted by a familiar poker room VIP or MVP, and they'll be names online regulars have chatted with, enjoyed competing against many times before, and possibly even developed a rivalry with.

Highlights of the Mini-UBOC line-up include the launch event on Wednesday, August 18th at 20:05 ET, a $30+3 buy-in $20K GTD Sniper NLH event hosted by SPIN31, and the Deepstack NLH 6-Max $25+2.50 buy-in $20K GTD tourney on Sunday, August 22nd at 16:00 ET hosted by GOGATORS86.

UB.com has even added the all-new Mini-UBOC Championship Monster Stack NLH $50+5 buy-in $50K GTD event, running concurrently with the UBOC Championship Main Event on August 29th at 16:00 ET. GUIGUI_88 takes to the host's seat in this one.

It's all about the game and the competition as players vie for the money, the bragging rights and one of a limited edition 2010 UBOC Championship wrist watches, presented to the Mini-UBOC Main Event Champion, as well as the Mini-UBOC Leaderboard winner.

So, whatever your poker preference or bankroll, Mini-UBOC has it covered with an exciting calendar of daily events, and offering a mix of popular online poker games including No Limit Texas Hold'em, HORSE, Pot Limit Omaha, 8-Game Mix, 4-MAX, 6-MAX, Heads Up and more.

Players eager to test their UBOC skills now should check the "SATELLITES" tab in the UB tournament lobby for the full UBOC satellite schedule.

As part of the CEREUS Network, Absolute Poker players can also participate in UBOC events. Visit the Absolute Poker UBOC page for details.
