I really pondered about entering tonight’s holiday bounty tournament over at Ultimate Bet. With a buyin of 10$ + 1$ fee the prices were quite nice: apart from the normal prices UB offered bounties for busting out their pros:

• Phil Hellmuth
• Annie Duke
• Antonio “The Magicianâ€? Esfandiari
• John Vorhaus
• Jack McClelland
• Roxci Rhodes
• Freddy Deeb

Price for busting one of them out of the tournament:

• $250
• UB Branded Poker Table
• UB Chip and Card Set
• 10 UB T-Shirts
• 10 UB hats

Nice, but I thought that with more than 2000 players the chances of even being at a table with one of them in the first place was slim to none. So I didn’t enter, but I watched Phil Hellmuth’s table…first of all he showed up late (like always?!), then he played some hands and busted out pretty quickly (A-9 vs. 4-4)…the best was not to see him play, but to see all the creeps crowding the chat and insulting the hell out of him…unbelievable…
