Six-event tournament series will feature $75,000 in guaranteed overlays and

crown the first-ever Bodog Poker Champion

Online poker players will be competing this March for some serious cash, not to

mention serious bragging rights, when Bodog hosts its inaugural tournament

series, the Bodog Poker Open (BPO).

Starting on Monday, March 3, the BPO will feature five preliminary events, all

leading up to the series’ championship, the $500 buy-in BPO Main Event, held

on Sunday, March 9. There, the inaugural Bodog Poker Champion will be

crowned and walk away with the top cash prize and an engraved Omega

Speedmaster watch.

Always eager to sweeten the pot for its online poker players, Bodog Poker will

add a total of $75,000 in additional money to the BPO’s prize pools, creating a

larger prize pool to each tournament and giving players an exceptional value for

their buy-ins.

“We’re excited to finally give our online players a tournament series where they

can battle it out for some major bragging rights and serious money,” said Bodog

North American CEO Alwyn Morris. “While there will be more Bodog Poker

Opens, there will only be one ‘first’ Bodog Poker Champion, and he or she will

have the cash and champion’s Omega Speedmaster watch to show for it.”

Each of the BPO’s preliminary events will feature a different buy-in amount and

format of Texas Holdem, including No Limit, Pot Limit, Limit and Six-Handed No

Limit. Players can buy directly into any of the events with cash or Bodog

Tournament Credits or win their way in through any number of low-cost

satellites starting on Monday, Feb. 11. Winners of the preliminary events will

win entry to the BPO Main Event in addition to their tournament winnings.

The tournament schedule for the BPO is as follows:
