For most poker fans, nothing goes better with poker than beer, wings and beautiful women in tight clothing cheering everyone on. So this month, AbsolutePoker.net is mixing them all together to create a poker experience unlike no other.

Together with Hooters, the online poker site is presenting the AbsolutePoker.net Poker Academy in Hollywood, California in late February.

Matt Vengrin will host the free poker event, scheduled for February 25, 2010 from 7-9pm. The acclaimed professional poker player will offer free poker tips to those in attendance while they enjoy free wings and beer.

Poker fans will have the opportunity to compete at on-site tables or play against a world of online poker players at one of several on-site AbsolutePoker.net gaming terminals.

I’m all about trying new stuff to increase the appeal of poker. This is one of the first of many new things I will be doing to help bridge the gap between the poker world and the world outside of poker.

Poker professional Matt Vengrin

Matt Vengrin is one of online poker’s most successful young poker players. In a little over two years, the 24-year-old has won nearly $2 million playing at the online poker tables and in land-based events around the world.

Making appearances at the Hooters event and giving the Hooters’ waitresses a run for their money are Absolute Poker’s Trishelle Cannatella and Lacey Jones.

Things are looking sky-high for Joe Sebok in the latest pro competition at UB.com . The Team UB Pro today confirmed that he is slated to be the host of UB.com’s first FreeRoll in the UB.com Pro Freeroll Challenge.

The February 17th free online poker tournament will feature a $2,000 prize pool plus a Las Vegas Skydiving experience with Joe Sebok for the winner.

Starting February 17th and running periodically over the next 11 months, one Team UB pro will host a Texas Holdem FreeRoll at UB.com. Each FreeRoll features a $2,000 prize pool plus a lifestyle component decided by the FreeRoll host.

A Las Vegas Experience

For Joe Sebok, the added prize will be a Las Vegas experience completely unrelated to gaming but just as thrilling. The winner of the FreeRoll, titled Sebok’s Leap of Faith, will get to jump out of an airplane over the Las Vegas desert and rocket towards the strip at 200mph. For those who prefer to remain grounded, Sebok will substitute the skydiving experience for something just as exciting.

Team UB pros are hosting FreeRolls at UB.com throughout 2010 as part of a yearlong online poker popularity contest. At the end of the year, the host who attracts the largest number of online poker players to his or her tournament will win the UB.com Pro Freeroll Challenge. The winning Team UB Pro will receive $2,500 from UB for a night on the town in Vegas to spend any way they choose. The Team UB pro who attracts the lowest number of players will be forced to play concierge, doing anything the winner asks to facilitate the night on the town.

Beyond game play, Bodog has always provided its players with chances to live the good life. Whether that’s giving away amazing prizes, awarding huge jackpots or flying hundreds of online poker players to Vegas to play for millions at the World Series, Bodog knows how to play hard.

After taking the poker circuit by storm and tearing up the tables for $1.5 million in 2009 alone, Eric Baldwin has landed at UB.com, the site today confirmed. The announcement comes just days after Card Player declared Eric Baldwin the 2009 Player of the Year.

Eric Baldwin isn’t just a new UB pro, he is UB. Eric loves this game more than anything in the world, he plays to win, and he’s respected for his passion at the tables. We really couldn’t be more ecstatic to have the Player of the Year on our team.

Annie Duke
Cardroom Consultant @ UltimateBet.com

Since beginning his poker career just a few years ago, Baldwin has built a reputation as one of the most dangerous poker players to ever play the game – online and off. He’s also garnered the respect of his peers for his down-to-earth persona, building a name for himself without losing the everyman qualities that have made him so revered.

Along the way, 26-year-old Baldwin has also amassed a small fortune, winning over $2.6 million at the land-based and online poker tables. In 2009, Baldwin earned $1.5 million playing poker, a figure that matches the lifetime winnings of some seasoned poker pros. This year alone, Baldwin has made 17 final tables, including one at UB.com’s signature Aruba Poker Classic. Baldwin finished in 4th place of the $5,500 Main Event for a $126,710 payday. He holds the record for most final table appearances in 2009.

But it’s not just about final tabling tournaments. It’s about winning them. Most recently, Baldwin finished first in Event #15 of the 2009 Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Bellagio, securing $256,600 for his win. Other notable first place finishes in 2009 include a $198,933 win in Event #24 of the 2009 Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza II, and a $521,932 bracelet win at this year’s World Series of Poker.

I am eager to be a part of UB’s new brand direction. I carefully weighed my sponsorship opportunities over the last couple of months and after meeting with UB officials and the Team UB pros, it’s very clear that UltimateBet.com is the perfect fit.

Card Player Magazine Player of the Year

Professional poker player Matt Vengrin was taking a break from holding Kings and Queens to help crown the next Miss California Teen USA. The Absolute Poker pro had been a celebrity judge in the recent Miss California Teen USA Pageant 2009. 

Some guys have all the luck!

As a poker player, I know how fierce competition can be. Just like playing in the World Series of Poker, these girls are in for a grueling but fun weekend and I’m excited to be an integral part of the experience.

Poker Pro Matt Vengrin

Matt Vengrin is one of online poker’s most successful young poker players. In a little over two years, the 24-year-old has won nearly $2 million playing poker at Absolute Poker, a number of other sites and at land-based casinos. In 2009 alone, the online poker pro has amassed six top 10 finishes in several popular online poker tournaments, including a 1st place finish in a recent No Limit Hold’em event for $61,600 in February and a 2nd place finish in a $100k tournament for $21,327 in January.

 Most recently, Vengrin finished strong in the Main Event of the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic, a $5,500 No Limit Hold’em tournament held at the Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino. Vengrin collected $13,820 for his 27th place finish.


Being surrounded by beautiful women is anything but foreign to Vengrin. The poker professional sits alongside Lacey Jones, one of the hottest women in poker, on Absolute Poker’s team of pros. Most recently, Reality TV bombshell Trishelle signed on as Absolute Poker’s celebrity endorser, making the team even more attractive.
