This Weekend in Bodog Poker

As the poker world focused in on the WPT World Championship at the Bellagio this weekend, online poker players at Bodog focused in on the Sunday $100,00 Guaranteed tournament and its $25,000 first place prize while one Bodog player in particular had his hands full with a heads-up match against the seemingly unbeatable Josh Arieh.

The online poker tournament attracted a field of 791 players, generating a generous overlay and making the tournament an exceptional value for all who satellited their way in on the cheap or paid the $100+9 buy-in. The final table of the tournament was a roller-coaster affair that saw the field quickly narrow from nine to three in just over 20 minutes, then go through at least five lead changes during three-way play and finish with a heads-up match that lasted only five hands.

Here are the complete final table places and payouts:

1) SirSands - $25,000

2) ROBERT PAULSON - $14,300

3) Chris Saxton - $9,200

4) Poker Machine - $6,900

5) Hoop Deville - $5,500

6) BigB1r - $4,500

7) cryogenicman - $3,500

8) juancito888 - $2,500

9) kdk175 - $1,600

Earlier in the weekend, Bodog tracked down a busy Josh Arieh who graciously took time out of his preparations for the WPT World Championship to play a weekly TLB heads-up match.  Unfortunately, "FPpoker4", TLB winner for April 9-15, probably wishes that Arieh hadn't as he became the latest victim of the red-hot Bodog pro.

Arieh extended his TLB heads-up win streak to 7, raised next week's jackpot to $7,000 and improved his all-time record to 28 wins and 12 losses.
