The Bodog Poker Open kicks off on Monday, and qualifiers to the biggest online poker tournament series in Bodog Poker history are still running twice daily.
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 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. Each of the BPO's preliminary events will feature a different buy-in amount and format of Texas Holdem, including No Limit, Pot Limit, Limit, No Limit with re-buys and Six-Handed No Limit. Players can buy directly into any of the events with cash or Bodog Tournament Credits or win their way in through any number of low-cost satellites starting on Monday, Feb. 11.
Here are the formats and buy-ins for those satellites:
| Satellites to... | Format | Buy-In |
| BPO Event No. 1 | NL Holdem | $30 + $3 |
| BPO Event No. 2 | NL Holdem (6-handed) | $40 + $4 |
