Maria Ho signs with UB.com

Californian poker pro / The Amazing Race contestant Maria Ho has just signed a sponsorship deal with UB.com. The site, formerly known as Ultimate Bet, is using the ladies nowadays to promote their poker room. You won’t hear us complaining about that, especially if they keep organizing Playmate bounty tournaments.

With the deal, Ho joins the likes of fellow female UB players Tiffany Michelle and Annie Duke. Male UB pro’s include of course Phil Hellmuth and Joe Sebok, among others. With a history of solid performances at a number of major live tournaments, including a World Poker Tour final table and World Series of Poker Circuit final table within the last three months, Ho is well deserving of her place on Team UB.

Ho’s biggest accomplishment is her 38th finish in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker 2007. With this amazingly deep run she was the last woman standing out of 6,358 players which earned her a cool $237,865.

In the press release the Asian hottie throws in some cliché’s: “I am honored to be joining the ranks of top UB pros such as Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke. With the new direction and vision I know UB has for their future, this is an extremely exciting time to become a part of such an amazing team.”

Maria Ho kicks off her UB.com representation at the NAPT in Los Angeles beginning today – Friday, November 12. Oh yeah, we almost forgot, here are some pics..
