Online poker room UltimateBet.com today announced that Annie Duke has been handed the reigns of their tournament schedule. Duke will be actively involved in building a schedule geared towards new and existing customers.

“I opted to accept the poker room consultant position after spending time with UltimateBet’s new senior management team,” said Duke. “I am extraordinarily pleased with their commitment to wanting what’s best for the poker player and I have a renewed sense of enthusiasm in the future of UltimateBet.”
