Bodog has announced that it has sent 11 online poker players to the World Poker Tour North American Poker Championship in Ontario.
The lucky 11 will don the black and red attire of Team Bodog at the North American Poker Championship tournament which starts today, October 25 and continues to October 29.
The televised-tournament, which is being held at the Niagara Fallsview Casino and Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is the only Canadian stop on the 2006 World Poker Tour (WPT). The 11 amateur Team Bodog members, each of whom qualified on Bodog.com, will have an opportunity for TV exposure, cash winnings and a chance to play with the pros.
'It's every amateur player's dream to be on television sitting across the table from some of the best players in the world at a WPT final table,” said Calvin Ayre, Bodog founder. “Bodog.com Poker is thrilled to have played a major role in helping our players realise their dreams.'
Each of the 11 Team Bodog players earned their entry by winning WPT satellite tournaments at Bodog.com. 'With the amazing success of Team Bodog at this year's WSOP,” added Ayre, “Bodog.com Poker has proven that it's an effective training ground for players who eventually graduate to playing and winning tournaments at land-based casinos.'
