Leading online casino UltimateBet.com is gearing up for the 41st annual World Series Of Poker (WSOP) by promising to hand out 25 packages into the $10,000 buy-in main event that is scheduled to begin on July 5.

“Whether players satellite their way to the 2010 WSOP in UltimateBet.com's 25 Package Guaranteed Super Satellite, a weekly super satellite or all the way from a ten-cent steps tournament, the result is still the same,” read a statement from UltimateBet.com.
“All UltimateBet.com online qualifiers who show up in Vegas to play for Team UB in the main event automatically earn their fair share of the Show Up, Get Paid progressive prize pool, currently tipping the scales at a mammoth $350,000 based on 70 qualifiers to date.
