Bodog Poker Announces WSOP Europe Qualifiers - 08-05-08

August 5 - Bodog Poker has announced that it is kicking off its qualifiers to the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event.

Online qualifiers will be running daily at BodogLife.com with buy-ins as low as $1. The qualifiers all lead up to the World Series of Poker Europe* Semifinal on Sept. 7, where players will compete for a seat to the championship event, plus roundtrip airfare, high-end car service to and from the airport, luxury hotel accommodations, spending money and exclusive Team Bodog player gear and apparel. There are two packages up for grabs, each valued at at $24,000.

"We're excited to award our online qualifiers a prize package that allows them to live it up in London like they've already struck it rich, even before the first cards are dealt," says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. "We had an incredible run at last year's tournament with one of our online qualifiers, Matt McCullough, finishing third, and we're hoping to see Bodog back at the final table again - this time taking home the bracelet."

At the inaugural main event last September, Bodog online qualifier Matt McCullough of Cherry Hill, N.J., earned the distinction of being the last American standing when he finished third out of a field of 623 players. The impressive finish saw McCullough returning home from London $766,674 richer.

The 2008 Main Event is scheduled to take place on Sept. 27-Oct. 2 in London, England. The six day tournament is an official bracelet event, and for the first time, it will be broadcast by ESPN in the United States.

Bodog runs numerous other qualifiers including satellites to the Asian Poker Tour in Macau.
