Online poker room UltimateBet.com was proud to announce that one of the newest members of its Star Players sponsored team triumphed in Event #40, a pot-limit Omaha event, at the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) on Monday night.
Twenty-five-year-old Matt Graham was signed by UltimateBet.com in March and the pro conquered a field of 295 players to secure a prize of $679,379 and his second WSOP bracelet.
'UltimateBet.com's Vegas Empire is stronger than ever and Matt Graham's performance over the past few days is proof of it,' said Annie Duke, Cardroom Consultant for UltimateBet.com, referring to the online poker site's current tenth anniversary Roman-themed marketing campaign.
The Star Players team includes some of the most revered players in online poker including Graham, who now has total career winnings of nearly $2.5 million with over one million dollars of that won at the WSOP.
“Members of the Star Players team continue to prove that online poker players can achieve equal success in the world's biggest land-based events,” read a statement from UltimateBet.com.
In addition to his online winnings, Graham also has a number of impressive land-based triumphs under his belt including taking home $278,000 after gaining his first WSOP bracelet by taking down the limit hold'em shootout at last year’s tournament. Other noteworthy wins by the former pre-med student include the 2008 Five Diamond World Poker Classic and the 2008 World Poker Challenge.
Graham is set to feature in the WSOP main event, which is set to get underway on July 3, and UltimateBet.com players can employ the site's free Ultimate Buddy feature to discover where he is seated in the virtual world.
