It’s likely that most will want to be counted in on this free trip, especially since it’s a poker tournament on the sunny tropical island.

They call it “The Ultimate Aruba Giveaway” and it draws off leader board competitions and sends the best of the best to sunny Aruba for the most exotic poker tournament around. Qualifying is easy. Players simply have to play in real money tables at UltimateBet.com between the June 20th and July 17th. Once you make your mark on the leader boards and hit the top ranks then you can make your mark down in Aruba.
