Annie Duke posted on her Twitter this week that her time at Ultimate Bet Poker the home of the endless allegations of Ultimate Bet Scandals and often weird software bugs and security holes that have drifted out over the last few years. Despite optimism that the future was bright for the room and they were putting some of these things behind them they have been blasted by the departure of one of their most senior pro team members.
Posters on Two Plus Two reported that Hellmuth - one of the most successful tournament players of all time with multiple World Series Bracelets and more TV appearances than a Ford commercial - was likely to follow suit and sign for another room.
With a string of high profile spats with Daniel Negreanu under her belt many in the poker community wonder if Annie has enough time to restore her reputation and goodwill amongst her peers. Ending this association is definitely a good first step, many were quite pleased when a noted PokerXFactor pro made the decision to quit promoting UB tournaments and this initial good press gives both her and the room she signs for a great opportunity to move things forward for their reputations.
