New Challenge from Ultimate Poker Challenge
A new challenge forthcoming from the Ultimate Poker Challenge is called “Cash Poker.” While poker TV is still as popular as ever, most shows are focused on tournament poker, where players manage their risk by only paying a buy in, and having a shot at winning a huge windfall. This new format has both pros and “regular” players playing with their own money in a straight cash game format - not a tournament at all. Being hyped as “The Ultimate Gamble”, Cash Poker has a buy in that starts at $25k and goes up to $100k.
