UltimateBet.com has signed a deal with thrash metal band Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian to represent the company as its newest online pro.

“We’re thrilled to add Scott Ian to our roster of online poker professionals,” stated UltimateBet.com spokesperson George MacLean. “Scott represents a new breed of poker player that both Texas Hold’em and music fans can relate to.”

Ian’s poker career began—and took off—after he won VH1’s Rock Stars of Poker tournament and secured a trip to Aruba to play in the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic, UltimateBet’s signature land-based poker tournament. However, according to Ian, it was anything but skill that led to his domination of the charity poker tournament.
