The 2010 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions is underway with two big names hot for the title that both happen to represent online poker room UB.com; Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke.
As of this UB Review writing the pair was back to back in the competition, both likely to walk with a $25k prize if nothing changes, but anyone familiar with this pair knows they will be fighting for the glory and the $500,000 grand prize that comes with absolute victory.
UB Referral Code Hellmuth has been hunting his 12th bracelet; a victory here would not count, as the TOC is not a bracelet event, but there is no question he would like to win it.
