Although the Bodog Poker Open does not draw the same crowds or have the same gigantic prize pools as some of the top online poker championships, the fact remains that this is a solid tournament series put on by a great online poker website. That is why despite those setbacks, Bodog Poker is holding its fifth open starting on September 26th.

This tournament series will feature 16 different online poker tournaments that collectively will hand out more than $300,000 in cold hard cash to the players that take part. You can easily put together an impressive resume of prizes by scoring high in some of the easier events or if you’d like you can go straight for the crown jewel by playing in the Bodog Poker Open V Main Event.

The main event will take place on October 3rd and will come with a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000. It is quite possible that they will be handing out more than that amount of money when all is said and done, but anyone that shows up for this Main Event can count on at least that cash being available in the guaranteed prize pool.

Players right from the start of their online poker experience at Bodog can decide whether they’d like to take a more casual approach to online poker tournament gaming by playing in the Contender Series of tournaments or they can go big or go home with the Championship Series of tournaments. Although the latter tournaments are expected to have much tougher fields in them, it is certainly the case that Bodog Poker will also be adding money into the pools of those tournaments, making them even juicier than normal. Each series has 7 preliminary events and 1 Main Event for the total of 16 that was mentioned earlier.

If any players are interested in getting into the tournaments cheaper than would otherwise be possible, there are satellite tournaments running right now at Bodog Poker for entry into all of the Open events. Simply look through the lobby for more information regarding satellites for the event that you’d like to get a discounted entry for.
