UltimateBet.com Announces New Sponsored Player/Spokesperson
Ultimate Bet (UB) today announced the addition of Tim Donaghy, former National Basketball Association (NBA) referee and gaming enthusiast to its team of highly capable players. "I welcome the chance to match my skills against players at Ultimate Bet,” said Donaghy. “I won’t have a chance to get out to the casinos for awhile, so playing online at the greatest poker site in the world will work quite nicely.”
The 41-year old Donaghy will also bring a posse of fellow gaming enthusiasts to the UB stable. Both James Battista and Thomas Martino will work closely with Donaghy as they make their way through SNGs, MTTs and high stakes ring games.
This down to earth, committed father of four is a proud graduate of Villanova University and cites his family as his biggest achievement to date. But it's his soon to be consistent performance in online poker tournaments on UB that will begin to earn him a solid reputation as one of the game's savants – capable of putting his opponents on a range of hands, and most times right down to the exact cards they hold. “When I call your bluff and take you down with only high card, you’ll probably swear I was peeking at your cards. But I’m not. Honest to God, I’m not,” Donaghy chuckled.
This new online poker pro proudly joins UB's roster of high caliber players at one of the best-run sites in the world. Ultimate Bet has been hacker free for more than a year now and has not had a major, publicly reported scandal in the recent memory of its new board of directors.
Tim Donaghy can be found playing online poker at Ultimate Bet under the name RogueRef and will be featured in a variety of future promotions on the site. Online poker players can employ Ultimate Bet's free Ultimate Buddy software to discover where RogueRef is seated and instantly join him at the tables. Donaghy has also been named as the Sergeant-At-Arms in the newly formed UB All Out Pilfer & Filch Team.
