The largest prize pool ever was announced by Bodog Poker site, with the main event awarding $300,000. The total prizes for the eight day Texas holdem tournament will be higher than $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 poker website will also feature six “Bounty” events, where the challengers can win $109 in Texas Hold em credits for each Team Bodog poker competitor they knock out of the poker eliminatories. The biggest poker celebs will be challenging all conteders in the poker tournament.

Team Bodog champ, Justin Bonomo, is definitely thrilled about the poker championship. Throughout his poker career, the 23 year old has brought home over $1.4 million. He says that if you had the idea that the first poker championship was huge, you will definitely be surprised with this year’s tournament and the prize money involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to eliminate him from the poker tournament to step forward.

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

There are thirteen games 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 prize money, despite the total number of Texas Hold em players in the Bodog Open. All the competitors who want to enter the main poker event will have to shell out $500 for the buy-in and in return will collect 10,000 in tournament chips.
