Bodog Poker Open III begins 26th April

April 17, 2009

It’s that time of year again and it’s now the turn of Bodog to offer a season of NL Holdem poker tournaments.

This year there will be a total of 26 tournaments spread over 3 skill levels giving a choice of tournaments to those players with smaller bankrolls.

The championship level consists of 10 tournaments with the next two rungs down consisting of 8 tournaments each.

Rather then go the traditional route of guarantees found on most other poker rooms, Bodog is going to Donate $75,000 to the prize pool and allow the popularity of the event speak for itself. The total prize pool for the Bodog Poker Open is set to top $280,000.

The event starts on April 26^th and will run through to May 3^rd and players can still qualify for these tournaments through Bodog Poker room.
