The Bodog Poker Open IV will run from 1 November to 8 November, with 7 championship events to decide who are the best players at Bodog.

There will be two series running in this time: the Championship Series of the Bodog Poker Open IV, and the Mini Series designed for players on a budget. Both series will begin on 1 November with big money opening events. The Championship Series Event 1 will have a $109 buy-in, and Bodog will be adding $15,000 to the prize pool. Buy-ins for the Mini Series Event 1 are $11, and Bodog will add $7,500 to the prize pool for this event. The winners of either of these events, or any of the other preliminary events, will receive a free entry to the Championship Series final on 8 November in addition to their prize money.

Between the opening event and the finals, the Championship Series will hold 5 more preliminary events from 2 November to 6 November at 8:30PM ET. All but one of these events will have $5,000 added to the prize pool by Bodog, with a Limit Hold ‘Em event on 6 November only getting another $2,500 added to its prize pool by Bodog.

The Mini Series will run 1 more preliminary tournament that the Championship Series, with a single tournament each day at 9:15PM ET from 2 November to 7 November. None of the preliminaries between the opening event and the final will have any extra money added to the prize pool by Bodog, but they will award a ticket to the Mini Series $50 final to every player who makes it to the final table of a Mini Series preliminary. The winners of these events will also receive a free entry to the Championship Series final.

It will all come to a head on 8 November, when the finals for both the Championship Series and the Mini Series begin at 4PM ET and 5PM ET, respectively. The Championship finals will have an extra $25,000 added to the prize pool by Bodog, and direct entry into the event will cost $500 for this No Limits Hold ‘Em tourney. The Mini Series finals will have $2,500 added to the prize pool by Bodog, and only cost $50 to enter. This will also be a No Limits Hold ‘Em event.
