The World's Leading Tournament Director Matt Savage Returns to the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic for the Third Consecutive Year

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - This year, online poker players have an
unprecedented number of reasons to join the online poker site in Aruba with
today's announcement that the world's leading tournament director Matthew
Savage will return to oversee UltimateBet's prestigious 2009 Aruba Poker
Classic.

"Matt's natural ability to run a smooth and fair tournament and his talent
for making it feel more like a party than a poker room is one of the many
reasons why our Aruba event is still one of the most popular on the annual
calendar," said Phil Hellmuth, UltimateBet's Pro poker player.

"For the third straight year, Savage Tournaments partners with UltimateBet
to deliver one of my favorite tournaments of the year," added Matt Savage.
"In celebrating UB's 10th Anniversary, I am honored to once again be part
of the Aruba Poker Classic; with an extended tournament schedule, plus a
group of floor staff and dealers that is second to none, 2009 is shaping up
to be one for the 'scrapbook.'"

As the Tournament Director for the Aruba Poker Classic, October 3rd through
10th, Savage will manage eight days of all-out poker action, which is
expected to attract over 500 players from around the globe, competing for a
slice of an overall festival prize pool in excess of $6,000,000.

To date, world famous event manager Savage has directed countless
million-dollar poker tournaments including the WSOP, various WPT
events, and the Aussie Millions. He has appeared on almost 400 televised
poker shows on ESPN, GSN, Fox Sports, Travel Channel and other popular
networks.

However, Savage's pedigree reaches far beyond just calling the shots on the
poker room floor. As one of the founders of the Tournament Directors
Association, he has been instrumental in standardizing tournament rules
throughout the world, and in 2003, his far-reaching contribution saw him
inducted into the Poker Room Manager's Hall of Fame as its very first
member.

Online poker players can enter a series of online satellites to win an
$8,500 Aruba prize package at UltimateBet.com, or qualify via UltimateBet's
STEP tournaments, for as little as 10 cents. The prize package includes the
$5,500 main event seat and $3,000 for travel and accommodation.

In 2008, Matt Brady captured the Aruba Poker Classic Main Event title,
taking home $1 Million in cash.
