Addition of new game adds diversity to Aruba Poker Classic
Thursday 28th September 2006
The inaugural Ultimate Blackjack competition will add a little spice in Aruba when it runs in conjunction with the 5th edition of the popular Aruba Poker Classic.
The Ultimate Blackjack Tour (UBT) from Ultimate Bet kicked off day one of the overall event this week at the Radisson Hotel Casino in Palm Beach, Aruba and was followed on day two by the start of Poker Classic.
UBT is the creation of former poker World Champion Russ Hamilton and is his attempt to create the same buzz around blackjack that has come to poker.
Poker has been a mainstay of cable television since the late 1990's and the World Poker Tour in 2003 exploded the game into a worldwide phenomenon drawing millions of new players to the game.
