If you like Texas Hold’em, then you’ll definitely want to check out the fifth cycle of the Bodog Poker Open, which begins on September 26th. Bodog, which happily accepts players from the United States, is hosting 16 tournaments as part of two concurrent schedules, a Championship Series and a Contender Series. Each offers seven preliminary events with nearly $100,000 in added and guaranteed money on the line.
The Championship and Contender Series both wrap up on Sunday, October 3rd. The former sports a $500 buy-in Main Event with a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool, while the Contender Series’ Main Event offers up $15,000 guaranteed in a $50 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament.
As an added bonus, the winners of every Championship Series and Contender Series tournament receive buy-ins to the Championship Series Main Event. Moreover, the eight players who round out each Contender Series final table score buy-ins to the Contender Series Main Event. Finally, in addition to the cash, the winner of the high-stakes series Main Event claims a swank $5,000 Corum watch.
In the fourth Bodog Poker Open, “MrElPaso” took home $36,000 after winning the Championship Series title, while “Hitchchops” collected $3,200 for winning its Contender Series counterpart. The very first Bodog Poker Open winner was poker veteran Shawn “phatcat” Luhman, who banked $75,000 two years ago.
