A huge prize pool was announced by Bodoglife, with the main poker tournament awarding $300,000 guaranteed. The total prizes for the eight day tournament will be more than $650,000, throughout the weeklong Texas hold em tournament.

Some of the most popular names in poker will be taking on all participators in the event.

Team Bodog professional, Justin Bonomo, is undeniably psyched about the poker contest. Throughout his poker career, the 23 year old has earned about $1.4 million. He says that if you considered that the first poker open was great, you will definitely be astounded with this year’s Texas Hold em contest and the prize money involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to knock him out of the poker tournament to step forward.

The Kick off Bounty Tournament will be the first poker game in the championship on Sunday. Any poker challenger is able to buy-In right into this, and any of the other poker events with cash.
