One lucky UltimateBet player will get the opportunity to play pro Phil Hellmuth in a heads-up match for $30,000 on Sunday.
UB is holding the Heads-Up SmackDown Bracket of Champions, which is down to its final four players after nine months of competition. The heads-up series has crowned eight different champions who each outlasted fields of 64 players. Those eight players have started to compete against each other for the right to square off with Hellmuth.
According to pokerpages.com:
With only four players surviving: The-Captainn, Butternuts, Redbull77, and Fkthisup2, the field was immediately chopped in half and the final four had been determined. This Saturday, those four players will be reseated at UltimateBet’s online poker tables for what will likely amount to the second most intense heads-up match ever played on the site. The final two will then take a seat in online poker’s most heated head-to-head competition on Sunday, April 13th at 2 p.m. ET and the ultimate Heads-Up SmackDown Bracket of Champions winner will be crowned.
The winner of the final match will play Hellmuth in a best-of-three series starting Sunday at 5 p.m. Eastern. If the player and Hellmuth are tied after two matches, the deciding match will be held on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern.
