BodogPoker will soon be hosting the second installment of its famed BodogPoker Open. The online poker room announced last week that the BodogPoker Open Main Event has been scheduled for Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 pm ET.
BodogPoker.com has not yet released the full schedule of events, but an official announcement is expected within the next week. Until then, registration for the Bodog Poker Open II Main Event is present in the Bodog Poker lobby, under “Scheduled Tournaments > BPO”.
Satellites to the Bodog Poker Open II Main Event are also ongoing. If you’d like to take a shot at winning a seat in the BPO II Main Event, there’s no better time to start carving that path to victory.
The inaugural Bodog Poker Open, hosted in March of 2008, was a 6-event tournament ending with the BPO Main Event, worth $305,120. 596 participants took to the online poker tables, building the prize pool on top of Bodog Poker’s added $25,000.
A lot of familiar names remained as the final table converged, but it came down to heads-up play between “phatcat” and “_TheFinisher_” to determine the historic first-ever winner of the BodogLive Poker Open. When the smoke cleared, it was “phatcat” who devoured the competition, tasting a $76,280 slice of the prize pool pie.
To commemorate the victory, BodogPoker awarded “phatcat” an engraved Omega Speed Master wrist watch, valued at over $4,000.
It will be interesting to see what BodogPoker has in store for the online poker community as we anticipate the release of the BodogPoker Open II schedule of events.
