Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 27, 2008 -- UltimateBet today announced the addition of Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy to its roster of respected online poker professionals. Josephy joins UltimateBet as the first member of the online poker site's new "Star Players" team, a new division of players created by UltimateBet's new management team.

"One look at his impressive record reveals that JohnnyBax epitomizes a Star Player and is the perfect addition to our roster of respected and talented poker players."
