The Biggest cash prize yet was announced by Bodoglife, with the main Texas hold em event giving away $300,000. The total for the eight day event will be over $650,000, throughout the weeklong poker tournament. The Bodog Texas Hold em event will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues through Sunday, October 5th. The popular sportsbetting website will also feature six “Bounty” games, where the participants can win $109 in tournament credits for each Team Bodog poker participant they eliminate from the poker match. The hottest poker players will be playing all rivals in the Texas Hold em tournament.

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

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

Bodog’s event will have thirteen events which will lead up to the main poker event on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in cold hard cash, despite the number of poker players in the contest. All the players who wish to enter the main contest will have to shell out $500 for the buy-in and in turn will obtain 10,000 in tournament chips.
