Bodog Poker Open IV: The Search for the NEW Bodog Poker Champion

by Bodog Poker | Oct 14 2009

It's almost that time again when Bodog offers up some of the best poker tournament action online. This fall the Bodog Poker Open IV will include a Championship Series as well as a Contender Series that will offer lower stakes action for players with smaller bankrolls. The champion of the main event will not only win tens of thousands of dollars, but they will be instantly thrust into the poker spotlight and will be treated like a Team Bodog professional. Action will be getting underway in just a couple of weeks, and you won't want to miss all the opportunities Bodog is giving players this time around.

The search for the next online poker superstar is on...
Bodog Poker Open IV Championship Series starts Nov. 1!

The two series of tournaments will provide action for different types of poker players. The Championship Series will be comprised of 7 events, 6 tournaments and 1 championship event.  The buy-ins will range from a $50+5(re-buy), to the $470+30 championship event.  The Championship Series kicks off on Sunday November 1, and will run until the following Sunday. The Contender Series will consist of 8 events, and runs over the same time period. This tournament will be more suited for lower stakes players, with buy-ins starting as low as $5+0.50 (re-buy), and culminate in the Contender Series championship event at $46+4.  

The winner of the Championship Series will instantly become a Bodog Poker celebrity. Besides the lion's share of the prize pool, the winner will get a spread in CardPlayer Magazine, feature articles in the Bodog Beat, and a new blog where they can write about their experiences as the Bodog Poker Open IV champion. They'll become an instant name in the game and should have a following of fans, at least for a little while. It's an opportunity to feel what it's like to be a poker celebrity, living the high-stakes lifestyle of a professional player.

As usual Bodog doesn't stop at the initial promotion offers during a big event like this. The poker room is adding on their usual huge layovers to the events. They will add between $2,500 and $25,000 extra to each tournament, depending on the event that's being played. That's a great deal for your tournament dollar, especially when you include all the extras that the poker room is providing to the champion.

Getting into the championship event will be possible through many ways. Players can buy in direct or play in numerous satellite options. If they have a good run in the Contender Series and make the final table, they will get their chance to show their stuff in the championship event. All the Contender Series Main Event final table members win an automatic seat into the championship event, while the winner of each Contender Series tournament will also get a seat to the championship event ($500 in tournament credits).

So don't miss your chance to win big bucks for little investment and become an instant poker star in the process. Watch for the Bodog Poker Open IV schedule for all the action times and buy-in costs so you can play in the events that best suit you.
