A monster prize pool was announced by Bodog Poker site, with the main poker tournament awarding $300,000 guaranteed. The total prizes for the eight day Texas holdem tournament will be more than $650,000, throughout the weeklong poker tournament. The Bodog Poker Open II will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues through Sunday, October 5th. The well-known Texas Hold em tournament website will also feature six “Bounty” tournaments, where the contestants can win $109 in poker credits for each Team Bodog poker contestant they eliminate from the poker eliminatories. David Williams, Jean-Robert Bellande, Evelyn Ng and Justin Bonomo are just some of the Bodog Texas Hold em pros challenging all contestants in the poker tournament.

Team Bodog pro, Justin Bonomo, is undeniably psyched about the Texas Hold em contest. Over the course of his poker playing career, the 23 year old has won about $1.4 million. He says that if you had the idea that the first poker championship was a good one, you will definitely be stunned with this year’s tournament and the prize money involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to eliminate him from the Bounty Tournament to step forward.

The Kick off Bounty Tournament is going to be the first Texas Hold em game in the contest on Sunday. Any poker challenger has the ability to buy-In directly into this, and any of the other Texas Hold em games with cash. Or another alternative is to win their way into the poker events through the satellites which are held every night during the tournament week. There will be six bounty eliminatories and seven “Championship Events”, which have higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.

In the tournament will be thirteen games which will lead up to the main event on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in cold hard cash, regardless of the number of players in the Bodog Open. All the competors who decide to enter the main poker event will have to shell out $500 for the buy-in and in turn will collect 10,000 in Bodog poker chips.
