According to the experts, the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic has so far been this year's most talked about online tournament, and its overwhelming popularity and success is a direct reflection of the recent boom in the online gaming industry, as well as the general success of UltimateBet.com.

The Spokesperson of UltimateBet, George Maclean, proudly expressed that "the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic was one of our most successful events ever. The fact that this year's tournament featured more players and a bigger prize pool than in 2006 speaks volumes about the state of the online poker industry and the success of the UltimateBet site." Maclean further explained that the success of the site is widely the result of its reputation in the online gaming community – after many years of trusted software and fast game-play, it has become a high traffic site with many loyal fans and a reliable name.
