Challenging or inviting a player to a game

I of course won the event, ( i was on a hot streak ), my 5th or 6th win of the day. After it was over, I was about to sign-off when a pop-up appeared from Ultimatebet stating - " XXX Player would like to invite you to play in a Single Table $5 sit-no-go tournement. ID#xxxxx. Click to Join". To the best of my recollection that was the wording, may not be the EXACT words, but you get the idea.

I had forgotton about it until just now. At the time I knew you could challenge a player to a HU but wasn't sure how to do it, never wanted to do it either. But I was and am still curious as to how this player was able to send me an invite. I never had the opportunity to ask the player, as I had somewhere to be and had to log off. I had planned on investigating it later, but I forgot.

I still see no way to challenge or invite players. Has anyone else seen or done this?
