Bloggers offered seat at WSOP
6th February, 2008
Bloggers who play online poker have the chance to win a seat at this summer's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas thanks to Bodog.
The online gambling site is hosting the first ever Blogger Tournament Series - composed of 18 separate tournaments running between February 5th and June 3rd - with three out of ten finishers being ranked in line with their aggregate performance.
At the end of the series the 18 top players will make their way into a final tournament on June 10th to try to win the once-in-a-lifetime $12,000 (£6,100) World Series of Poker prize package.
Each of the weekly tournaments has a $10 + $1 buy-in and the prize pool will be distributed in line with Bodog's standard multi-table payout structure.
As an added bonus, the top five poker bloggers from each game will also win Bodog tournament points which can be used to buy a seat in the weekly $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament.
Bodog is marketing the series at bloggers in a bid to encourage players to post game reports about on their own websites, but there is no requirement that participants actually run their own blog.
