Online Poker

With the 2007 World Series of Poker just around the corner, Bodog has announced the opportunity of a lifetime.

British World Series hopefuls can take a shot at having their $10,000 tournament buy-in fee paid for, along with $2,000 for travel and accommodation expenses by winning an online freeroll tournament, which is taking place Monday, May 7, 2007 at 8:05pm GMT.

In addition to the chance to play for millions, international poker players can also immediately stake their claim to fame by being part of Team Bodog, which produced the 2006 World Series of Poker Champion, alongside a list of other acclaimed poker superstars.

In 2006, Bodog accomplished its goal of qualifying over 500 players to the WSOP with over 400 of these players making it to the Main Event.

This year, Bodog has taken a different approach by allowing tournament players to decide how to designate their winnings. Players can use their qualifier packages and opt for a choice to participate and go for the glory in the WSOP, WPT and other events. "The Player's Choice' approach gives our players the autonomy to decide on playing for whatever they wish, be it a chance at poker stardom, a shopping spree or a relaxing vacation,"

Bodog founder Calvin Ayre said. With a special password provided to readers of the UK magazine, PokerPlayer, players can gain entry into the tournament simply by signing up for an account at Bodog with no deposit required.

Players who rank high enough also stand to win from the additional prize pool, which includes 500 tournament credits for 2nd place and 110 tournament credits for 3rd - 20th place - all enough to buy into Bodog's weekly Sunday night $100K guaranteed tournament.
