Phil Helmuth and Annie Duke Leaving UB I read alot of places last night that Phil Helmuth and Annie Duke are both leaving UB. First place was on twitter where Phil had wrote about it. I really don't think the site is going down, although who knows. Where do you think they will go to? Phil maybe FT or PS? Annie, hmm, hard to tell! 've seen some internet boards where the members think Phil Hellmuth will sign with a land based casino (Caesar's) and then be their face for online poker when they get an online skin running. Annie Duke, if she stays solo as she said, may try the same. However people just don't know her. If you were to ask 20 people who casually watched the WSOP on ESPN, maybe 4-5 would really know who she is and what she's done. That's not to say she isn't accomplished, it's just my belief her marketability doesn't come close to those of others. Phil could do that but ultimately i think he will end up on Pokerstars or FTP, and as for Annie Duke not sure about her cuz as Msu said she isnt as well known as other poker pros.

dont think that some big site will take him for pro,beacuse he is very angry when he start to lose,he like to revile opponents,so this would be good promotion for them!
