Tiffany Michelle Joins UltimateBet

While she may be at the centre of a legal storm it hasn’t stopped UltimateBet from signing Tiffany Michelle

Wednesday 30th July 2008



Poker sites constantly increase the roster of pros who play at their site in turn for sponsorship deals, and major poker site UltimateBet have bolstered their arsenal further with the addition of Tiffany Michelle, the 17th place finisher in this year’s WSOP Main Event. Michelle made history by being the first woman to surpass so many players in the history of the WSOP, defeating 6,844 players to win $334,534. Michelle was a singer/songwriter and actress before turning to poker. Fellow female player and WSOP bracelet winner Annie Duke, who is also sponsored by UltimateBet, said: “From Hollywood to Vegas, Tiffany Michelle is a rising star in so many extraordinary ways. We’re thrilled to be able to bring such a talented force on board.” Unfortunately Michelle is in the centre of a storm of controversy over her wearing UltimateBet patches at the Main Event while still being sponsored by Pokernews.
