Bodog’s Own Private WSOP
Bodog Poker just announced the creation of a new online poker tournament series called the Mini-SOP, mirroring all 25 Texas Holdem events of the World Series of Poker online, except for just a fraction of the revered land-based events’ buy-ins.
The Bodog Poker Mini-SOP runs concurrently with the real WSOP, event-for-event, from May 30 to July 3 with buy-ins equivalent to 1% of that of their Vegas-hosted counterparts. In fact, to enter all 25 events, it will only cost home players a total of $821.
What’s more, on July 10, Bodog Poker will host its equivalent of the Main Event, with the top 3 prizes being seats at the 2009 WSOP (worth $12,000 each). The event’s 27 players will be determined by the Tournament Leader Board posted on the Bodog site throughout the tournament series. This makes Bodog the first online poker site to give away seats to next year’s main event.
