million first prize at the World Series of Poker, Bodog.com is now guaranteeing 40

\"With a record 700 Bodog.com players being qualified to the WSOP, the reaction from
our players and the poker industry as a whole has been nothing short of
spectacular,\" says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com, and host of the Calvin

are given every single opportunity to compete against the poker greats, and by
having a new qualifier every 20 minutes during the weekends, we are well on our way
to achieving this.\"

Stage until Stage 5 when a WSOP seat is awarded.

package that includes a $10,000 tournament buy-in, $2,500 in travel expenses, access
to the WSOP VIP Lounge and $1,000 worth of Bodog gear.

a Las Vegas-based series of tournaments held over the course of six weeks. This
year, Bodog.com is qualifying over 10 times that amount of players for preliminary
