An Incredible grand prize was announced by Bodog poker, with the main Texas hold em tournament giving away $300,000. The total prizes for the eight day event will be over $650,000, over the course of the fourteen tournament event. The Bodog Poker event will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues until Sunday, October 5th. The popular Texas Hold em tournament website will also feature six “Bounty” tournaments, where the challengers can win $109 in Texas Hold em credits for each Team Bodog poker competitor they eliminate from the tournament. Some of the most popular names in poker will be playing all participators in the poker tournament.

Team Bodog pro, Justin Bonomo, is undeniably excited about the Texas Hold em championship. Throughout his poker career, the 23 year old has brought home about $1.4 million. He says that if you thought the first poker tournament was huge, you will definitely be amazed with this year’s Texas Hold em contest and the prize money involved. He also challenges anyone that dares to eliminate him from the poker contest to step forward.

The initial Bounty Tournament will be the first event in the tournament on Sunday. Any poker player is able to buy-In right into this, and any of the other poker matches with cash. Or another alternative is to win their way into the events through the satellites which are being played every night during the poker championship week. Bodog will have six bounty events and seven “Championship Events”, which have higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.

In the tournament will be thirteen events which will lead up to the main tournament on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in hard cash, regardless of the amount of poker players in the contest. All the competitors who decide to enter the main tournament will have to shell out $500 for the buy-in and in return will receive 10,000 in Texas Hold em chips.
