Phil Hellmuth himself will host the UBOC Main Event on Jan. 18.

UBOC 3 started on Jan. 9 with a Pot-Limit Omaha re-buy tournament, and will run until Sunday 18, when the $1,000 + 50 Main Event is played.

In total, twelve tournaments will be played, and the buy-ins in the side events range from $100 to $500. A minimum of $2.2 million will be paid out in prize money in UBOC 3, with $1 million guaranteed in the championship event.
