UBOC5 Draws Rock Stars Out for the NLH $200K GTD Hosted by Anthrax Guitarist Scott Ian Scott Ian Ultimate Bet Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and Shanna Moakler were joined by a host of Rock's finest, including Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell and Kirk Hammett of Metallica, but it was TRACILORDS who was the star of the show, finishing first in UBOC Event #9 for $46,500. SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA (Tuesday, August 24, 2010) - UB'S Online Poker Championship Series, which guarantees over $4 Million in tournament money and competition prizes, continued on Monday, August 23rd with the ninth of the UBOC5 tournament schedule's twenty guaranteed events, attracting 781 players to the tables for the NLH Rock Star Bounty $200K GTD. Hundreds of online poker players turned up to UB's $200+15 buy-in Bounty event for a shot at parking themselves next to rocker royalty, as Team UB's SCOTT IAN, and a few of his rock star buddies held court in UB's poker room. JERRY CANTRELL(Alice in Chains), KIRK HAMMETT(Metallica), CHAD GRAY and GREG TRIBBETT(Mudvayne), ANDY HURLEY(Fall Out Boy), and SULLY ERNA(Godsmack) showed their best hands in last night's $200K GTD, but failed to make the money. What they did do successfully was provide six other online players with the bragging rights, and $200 in T$s that came along with sending each of these rock stars hurtling to the rails.

After over eight and a half hours of play, it was experienced online player TRACILORDS who stole the limelight heads up against A_CHEN. TRACILORDS's three of a kind - 9s-9c and 9d on the board - held up against A_CHEN's pair of threes, to take down the star-studded UBOC Event #9 and the $46,500 first-place pay check. There were only A-Grade performances to be found from this TRACILORDS. "I felt confident going into the FT. I play a lot of high buy-in tournaments, and the fields are often much more experienced. A_CHEN was definitely my toughest opponent, but I played pretty aggressive when it was needed, and made some big lay downs as well," explained TRACILORDS. "It's not my biggest win, but it's definitely in my top three. It was a great structure, and I'm feeling pretty good for the win." Tournament host SCOTT IAN added, "I couldn't get anything going, and it's tough playing with a bounty on your head, but I had the other tables open with the invited "rock stars", and people were getting to hang out and chat. That's what made this really cool, besides the 200K. I hope everyone had fun, and I'll see you at the tables this week for more UBOC action."
