Poker Academy in Hollywood, California: AbsolutePoker & Hooters Team Up
Online poker players at Absolute Poker invited to a night of poker, beer and free wings
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.

Joe Sebok’s UB.com Pro Freeroll Challenge
Team UB pro includes a skydiving experience to prize pool of FreeRoll he’ll host on February 17th
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.
