Joe Reitman, Annie Duke boy-toy and Hollywood B-lister extraordinaire, has taken home $266,000 for winning an UltimateBet.com online poker tournament. The UltimateBet poker tournament boasted a total prize pool of $1 million. Reitman beat out a respectable 2,700 players to take first place. Along with the cash prize, all nine final table players also won entry into the $10,000 World Series of Poker main event.

Does Reitman have Annie to thank for his win; are free poker lessons just another fringe benefit of going out with a poker pro? One thing is for sure, though. Reitman, “coincidentally" also serves as producer on Duke's forthcoming poker show, "Annie Duke Takes on the World," which will begin airing this May on GSN.
