The Ultimate Bet Sunday $200K Guaranteed is the biggest weekly tournament at UB.com. The Sunday $200K is a tournament that guarantees a minimum prize pool of $200,000 every single Sunday at Ultimate Bet. The total prize pool usually exceeds $200,000 but if there’s ever a week where not enough players show up to generate a $200,00 prize pool, Ultimate Bet will add money to the prize pool.

This tournament represents a great value for players for two reasons. First of all, you always know the tournament is going to be a big one. You don’t have to hope enough people show up to make it worth your while. Second, the tournament is an even greater value if Ultimate Bet has to add money to the prize pool. In that case, you have fewer players competing for an inflated prize pool. It’s a win-win situation.

Ultimate Bet Sunday $200K Info

The Ultimate Bet $200K Guaranteed costs $215 to buy in direct. If that’s a strain on the old bankroll, you can always play in satellite tournaments and win your way in for as little as $5.50. I’m not much of a math guy but I can tell you it wouldn’t be a bad return on your money to turn $5.50 into $44,000 (the average first place prize) in a single day.

Players begin the tournament with 3,000 chips and then play from there. This is a traditional freezeout tournament so there are no rebuys, add-ons or bounties. Once you get your 3,000 chips, the rest is up to you. The last man standing wins the big prize and all the rest win progressively smaller prizes.

The average number of players in the UB 200K Guaranteed is about 900 but every week it’s a little different. Some weeks there are 800-ish player and other weeks there are well over a thousand players. The tournament takes up a good amount of time but the prizes are well worth it.

Ultimate Bet $200K Pros

The members of Team UB play in the $200K Guaranteed every week. Team UB includes the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, Eric Baldwin and more than a dozen others. These are tough players but it’s still cool to play against people you’ve seen on TV in major live events. And plus, you know it would be fun to see if you can needle a reaction out of the notorious Phil Hellmuth.
