According to the Twitter account of WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack (@JeffreyPollack) the 2009 WSOP is now only 19 days away from starting, but the 2009 WSOP Main Event is still about seven weeks away from kicking off and qualifiers at Bodog are well underway.

This past Sunday, Bodog held a $270 buy-in 4-Seat Guaranteed Main Event Semifinal that paid out a $12,000 WSOP VIP prize package to the top four places. Those four packages went to online poker players "Tsmizzle26," "RJules12," "rmobley65" and "SirSands."

As winners of Bodog Poker's $12,000 WSOP prize packages, these four receive their Main Event buy-in, $2,000 for travel to and accommodation in Las Vegas, a Bodog gear bag worth $400+ (clothes, gadgets and other stuff), and access to the infamous Bodog VIP events and player's club evenings.

Have no fear though. Those are not the only packages that will be available through Bodog. Another two seats will be guaranteed in the Main Event Semifinal to be held on May 25, four seats guaranteed in a June 7 Main Event Semifinal and then more on June 14. So, stay tuned here for more details on how to qualify online for the 2009 WSOP through Bodog Poker and get started on your way now for as little as $1.
