A huge prize pool was announced by Bodog Poker site, with the main event giving away $300,000. The total prizes for the eight day poker tournament will be higher than $650,000, throughout the weeklong poker tournament. The Bodog Poker event will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues through Sunday, October 5th. The well-known Texas Hold em tournament website will also feature six “Bounty” events, where the contestants can win $109 in tournament credits for each Team Bodog poker contestant they eliminate from the tournament. The most famous poker celebs will be competing against all participators in the poker tournament.

Team Bodog star, Justin Bonomo, is definitely excited about the poker contest. Throughout his poker career, the 23 year old has earned nearly $1.4 million. He says that if you considered that the first poker championship was a good one, you will definitely be surprised with this year’s Texas Hold em contest and the cash involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to eliminate him from the poker tournament to step forward.

The Kick off Bounty Tournament will be the first poker contest in the championship on Sunday. Any poker challenger has the ability to buy-In directly into this, and any of the other Texas Hold em games with cash. Or another opportunity is to win their way into the poker events through the satellites which are presented every night during the poker championship week. Bodog will have six bounty events and seven “Championship Events”, which have higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.

Bodog’s contest will have thirteen games which will lead up to the main poker event on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the poker championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in hard cash, regardless of the total number of players in the tournament. All the poker players who want to enter the main poker tournament will have to pay $500 for the buy-in and in exchange will collect 10,000 in Texas Hold em chips.
