BodogPoker Awards Two Seats In WSOPE Main Event
Filed Under: BodogPoker
BodogPoker held a WSOPE “Euro Main Event Semi-Final” Qualifier Sunday that guaranteed at least 2 seats in the upcoming WSOPE Main Event with prize packages worth $24,000. The top two finishers, Cory “Ozone23” Albertson and “syzygy3732”, will both be on their way to London later this month.
With a $500+$40 buy-in, it comes with some surprise that only 53 players took part in the WSOPE Main Event Semi-Final as BodogPoker.com continues to struggle with player participation. Those low numbers only brought in $26,500 for BodogPoker, barely enough to cover a single WSOPE Main Event prize package of $24,000, let alone two of them.
The WSOPE Main Event Prize Package from Bodog Poker includes the £10,000 buy-in (nearly $20,000 USD), airfare, luxury hotel accommodations with first-class transportation to/from the airport, Bodog branded player gear to wear throughout the tournament and extra spending cash.
Last year, Bodog.net awarded many seats the WSOP Europe Main Event, including the noteworthy seat of Matt McCullough, who went on to finish in 3rd position for $715,967, going down in the history books as the last American standing in the first annual WSOP Europe Main Event.
Relative newcomer Annette “Annette_15” Obrestad, at the ripe age of 19 years old, went on to win the 2007 WSOPE, outlasting experienced pros like Jamie Gold, Gus Hansen, Erick Lindgren, Patrik Antonius, Annie Duke, Ian Frazier and Marco Traniello.
