Poker News: Ultimate Bet for Anthrax Guitarist Scott Ian

Scott Ian has joined the Ultimate Bet Online Poker Room for the action. Ian is a guitarist for the rock group Anthrax and will soon be expanding his resume to include online poker pro at Ultimate Bet. Ian proved his poker pedigree when he won VH1’s Rock Stars of Poker at the Palms in Las Vegas which gave him a seat at the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic held by Ultimate Bet.

Ian was quoted as saying, "The Aruba Classic was a blast! What a place to spend a week playing Poker. Even if you get knocked out early you've got a week on the beach. It's a win-win. I'll be back next year!"

This year Ian will be back to play and his mentor will be none other than 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. Ian states previously that he didn't feel had the experience and skill to win but his cards that he was dealt were luckily amazing.

George MacLean, spokesperson for Ultimate Bet was quoted in a press release as saying, "We're thrilled to add Scott Ian to our roster of online poker professionals. Scott represents a new breed of poker player that both Texas Hold'em and music fans can relate to."

Scott will be joining the other Ultimate Bet online poker pros and will be featured every Sunday in UltimateBet.com's $200,000 Guaranteed poker tournament with a bounty on his head. The online poker player that knocks Scott Ian out of the tournament will win their $215 buy-in back.

Get your poker game up to speed and get in on the action, all you need is a deck of cards, poker chips and a buddy or two to practice your favorite poker games with!
