The much-anticipated Bodog Poker Open begins tonight with just a straight-up no-holds barred $270 buy-in No Limit Holdem online poker tournament. The momentous "shuffle up and deal"* will happen at 8pm EST tonight and will kick off the biggest series of poker tournaments that the online poker room has ever held.

All in all, the BPO will feature five preliminary events, all leading up to the series' championship, the $500 buy-in BPO Main Event, held on Sunday, March 9 at 4 p.m. EST. There, the inaugural Bodog Poker Champion will be crowned and walk away with the top cash prize and an engraved Omega Speedmaster watch valued at $4,400.

Bodog Poker is making the deal even sweeter for all of these events by adding $75,000 in additional money to the BPO's prize pools, creating a larger prize pool to each tournament and giving players an exceptional value for their buy-ins. For tonight's event, there will be an additional $10k kicked in, making for exceptional ROI on the initial buy-in.
