An Incredible grand prize was announced by Bodog poker, with the main Texas hold em event giving away $300,000. The total prizes for the eight day poker event will be over $650,000, throughout the weeklong poker tournament. The Bodog Texas Hold em event will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues until Sunday, October 5th. The popular poker tournament website will also feature six “Bounty” tournaments, where the contestants can win $109 in poker credits for each Team Bodog poker competitor they knock out of the poker match. The biggest poker stars will be competing against all competitors in the event.

Team Bodog champ, Justin Bonomo, is undeniably excited about the poker contest. Over the course of his poker playing career, the 23 year old has earned about $1.4 million. He says that if you thought the first poker tournament was a good one, you will definitely be amazed with this year’s Texas Hold em contest and the awards involved. He also challenges anyone that dares to knock him out of the Bounty Tournament to come forward.

The initial Bounty Tournament is going to be the first poker contest in the contest on Sunday. Any poker player is able to buy-In right into this, and any of the other events with cash. Or another option is to win their way into the Texas Hold em games through the satellites which are being played every night during the Texas Hold em contest week. Bodog will feature six bounty eliminatories and seven “Championship Events”, which will feature higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.

There are thirteen events which will lead up to the main poker tournament on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the poker championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in cold hard cash, regardless of the total number of players in the contest. All the poker players who want to enter the main poker tournament will have to pay $500 for the buy-in and in turn will obtain 10,000 in tournament chips.
