Ubetcha Poker Tour players donated $91.00 to the American Heart Association on Wednesday Night at American Cowgirls. Ubetcha Inc. matched that amount making a total $182.00 donation in Matt Oakland's name to the American Heart Association. Thanks to all who showed up and contributed.

Congratulations to Shaun Plumb for winning the 2007 UPL GRAND Tournament!
Shaun was the chip leader when the final table hit 4 players and agreed to chop (split) the top prize with the other 3 players. Because of that agreement between the 4 players, they will each play in a $2,000 World Series of Poker Tournament in Las Vegas this June. Joining Shaun at the W.S.O.P. will be Bentola Akpata, Todd Mays, & Chris Cummins! Paul McMinn will join TEAM Ubetcha in Las Vegas! The Ubetcha Poker Tour is at Full Throttle!
