UltimateBet.net Celebrates Annie Duke's Appearance on Celebrity Apprentice with Competition of its Own

February 27, 2009 - Annie Duke is switching her focus from the poker room to the boardroom as a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice and one leading online poker site is inviting its players in on the action. UltimateBet.net today announced Annie Duke's Apprentice Challenge, a free online poker competition that coincides with the UltimateBet.net pro's appearance on NBC's hit TV series starring Donald Trump.

Texas Hold'em fans are invited to enter a no-charge online poker freeroll on March 1st where the top 10 players will win a spot in the Main Event of Annie Duke's Apprentice Challenge on May 18th at 8:30pm ET. The champion of the Main Event will secure an $8,500 Aruba Poker Classic prize package.

While online poker fans compete for a trip to paradise for UltimateBet's signature land-based poker tournament, Duke will be vying for Donald Trump's attention with the goal of staying out of the line of fire when he screams You're Fired!

Joined by a list of 15 other celebrities that includes Andrew Dice Clay, Dennis Rodman, Scott Hamilton, Tom Green, Joan Rivers, and Clint Black, Annie Duke will complete a series of weekly business tasks each week on Celebrity Apprentice while keeping her eye on the prize – money for Refugees International, Annie Duke's chosen charity.
