Rising Poker Stars Matt Graham Joins Team UltimateBet

UltimateBet has given its roster of online poker talent a heavy dose of awesome. The leading online poker site today announced the addition of 25-year-old poker sensation Matt Graham, a former pre-med student, to its Star Players team.

"I am so thrilled to have Matt Graham on the team," stated Annie Duke, UltimateBet's Cardroom Consultant. "Matt epitomizes the all-around poker player. He has great results in all the games, live or online. Matt is an amazing addition to the Ultimatebet.com team."

Before launching a successful poker career, Graham studied pre-med for three years in Connecticut. His composed playing style has led to a number of online success stories and he has gone on to duplicate the formula offline, with career winnings totaling nearly $1,000,000.

Last year, Graham won his first WSOP bracelet when he took down the Limit Hold'em Shootout event and pocketed more than $278,000. Other notable wins include the 2008 Five Diamond World Poker Classic and the 2008 World Poker Challenge.

"I look forward to the opportunity to represent UltimateBet.com both online and in the live arena," noted Matt Graham. "I never would have thought I would be a site pro when I began my online poker career at UltimateBet.com four years ago, but now here I am. I am very excited to be a part of the future of this site."
