UB Sponsors Tournament

The annual Four Aces Open tournament will feature headline sponsor UB.com (www.ub.com) this year. The tournament held Sept. 10 at the Four Aces Poker Club in Montreal, Canada, is expected to pull in more than 300 players and a prize pool of around $750,000.

UB is sending Team UB pro Mark ‘P0ker H0’ Kroon as a UB brand representative. For his part, Kroon said he’s excited to be heading to Montreal.

“When they told me there’s a tournament up in Montreal, I knew I had to jump on it, and not just because of the killer smoked meat sandwiches and amazing clubs,” Kroon said in a press release. “In all seriousness, I really love Montreal for a lot of reasons and I can’t wait to play poker at the Four Aces.”

As might be expected, UB will hold satellite tournaments to qualify players for the $2,500+$250 buy-in No Limit Hold ‘em Main Event. The daily satellites will be offered from Aug. 29 to Sept. 5.

Players at UB will also have a chance to win a $3,500 prize package, which includes entry into the tournament plus $750 in travel expenses.

Players interested in qualifying through UB should visit the site and from the tournament lobby, look at the “satellites” tab for the full satellite schedule. UB also offers player casino games and is often referred as one of the best online casinos for poker players that like to dabble in casino play.
