The Bodog Poker Mini-SOP

[Manne]

To celebrate the biggest poker tournament in the world, Bodog is launching a new online poker tournament series this summer that will mirror all 25 Holdem events of the 2008 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas at just a fraction of the buy-in.

The Bodog Poker Mini-SOP will run from May 30-July 3 with each tournament held on the same date as its counterpart in Las Vegas but with buy-ins equal to just 1 percent of the actual buy-in of the WSOP Event. After the completion of the series' 25 events, Bodog will host a final tournament on July 10 that will award three seats to the 2009 WSOP Main Event, making Bodog the first online poker site to give away seats to next summer's Main Event.

Bodog will be running a Tournament Leader Board throughout the series that will be used to determine who will compete in that final, 27-player tournament. The top four players on the TLB automatically qualify, while places five through 100 on the TLB will compete for one of 18 seats awarded in a Semifinal qualifier held two days before the final. The remaining five seats to the final will be picked from a random "wild card" drawing of players who have entered in at least three Mini-SOP events. The top three finishers in the Mini-SOP Final will each be awarded a $12,000 prize package to the 2009 WSOP Main Event with places four through nine receiving T$109 to buy into online poker tournaments in the Bodog Poker room.

There are also still plenty of opportunities available to qualify for this year's WSOP Main Event because Bodog is guaranteeing at least six $12,000 Main Event Prize Packages each and every week. 2008 WSOP online poker satellites start for as little as $1 and winners of a $12,000 Main Event Prize Package receive the $10,000 buy-in to the main event, $2,000 for travel expenses, loads of Team Bodog gear and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Las Vegas in total Bodog style, including meeting the Bodog Girls and much, much more.
