Ultimate Bet Awareness Day at the 2015 World Series of Poker

June 16th will be remembered for a lot of things.

It’s Youth Day in South Africa, Bloomsday and Ireland and Golden-State-Warriors-Won-Their -First-NBA-Championship-in-40-Years Day in America.

Jim Collopy would also like it to be known as Ultimate Bet Awareness Day.

Collopy has been wearing an Ultimate Bet hat since the start of the summer for this very reason.

"I'm just raising awareness," said Collopy. "Slash rooting for a comeback.”

Collopy succeeded in one of those endeavors after he was seated next to former Ultimate Bet Pro, Phil Hellmuth in the $5,000 NLHE 6-Max.
