About the 2006 Ultimate Poker Classic in Aruba
2002. The very first Ultimate Poker Classic Tournament is underway. Over 100 players make their way to Aruba by winning trips through UltimateBet.com for a week of fun in the sun - and of course a little poker. Everyone has the time of their life and enjoys meeting some of their online friends in person for the very first time. Player "Peasant" wins the Championship event and takes home $50,000.
Cut to 2005. Same hot sun. Same great times. Only this time, Freddie Deeb leaves the final table with $1,000,000.
