Day #4 in the Bodog Poker Open V saw more players hitting the tables in a pair of events, one in the Championship Series and another in the Contender Series. Both saw a flood of returning players from other events in the BPOV and new players joined the fray as well, creating a fantastic environment for the competitive player.
Championship Series event #5 was a $30+$3 Rebuy Tournament that featured an extra $5,000 added on top of the prize pool courtesy of Bodog. “Doked” took the top spot, continuing their run of in-the-money finishes at the BPOV. They earned $6,135.25 and a seat in the Bodog Poker Open V main event for their victory. “Medesian Alain” earned $3,904 for a second-place finish and “The Destroyer” got over $2,500 for their third-place finish.
The fourth Contender Series event was a $2,500 guaranteed $5+$1 Rebuy tournament. Like the Championship Series event, the winner got a seat at the Bodog Poker Open V Championship Series Main Event. The honor and $789.25 went to “hebs,” who won first place while “lion132” came in second to earn $502.25 and “landersp” rounded out the top three and pocketed $332.92.
There’s still plenty of time to play in some great tournaments and get yourself psyched up for the Bodog Poker Open V Main Event. On top of the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool for the event, the first-place finisher gets a Corum Romulus Chronograph valued at over $5000.
The fifth day of the Bodog Poker Open meant two more events in the online poker room’s largest annual event: Event #6 in the Championship Series and Contender Series Event #5. Hundreds of players are sitting down at the virtual felt in both series
The first event was the Championship Series Event #6, a $100+$9 Pot limit Tournament that featured an extra $5,000 added to the prize pool by Bodog. “mr_dynomite” earned $4,830 and a seat in the Bodog Poker Open V main event for their victory while “VAFLZ” took second and got $3,2200 for their play. And “tblk158” rounded out the top three and walked away with $1,915.90.
Contender Event #5 was a $2,500 Guaranteed tournament with a $20+$2 Buy-in. In addition to cash, the winner also won a seat at the Bodog Poker Open V Main Event while the rest of the final table got to claim a spot at the Contender Series Main Event, a $15,000 guaranteed tournament that wraps up the series. “GoBilliards” made it to first place and $750.00; “Ceephats” took second and $500.00 while “allhale03” rounded out the top three finishers and earned $297.49.
This weekend sees just a few more events and a day of satellites on Saturday leading up to the Main Event, so this is one of your last chances to get on board! This year’s winner in the Bodog Poker Open V Championship Main Event will get more than just their share of cash: they’ll get an engraved Corum Championship Watch worth over $5,000 and a place in the Bodog Poker Open Hall of Fame.
