Poker pro Evelyn Ng plays for Team Bodog

If you can’t make it to the World Series of Poker in Vegas you can still get in on the action without having to leave the comforts of your own home. To be held during the same time period as the WSOP in Vegas, Bodog Poker’s Mini-SOP online poker tournament will only cost you about 1 percent of the actual buy-in of the WSOP Event.

“We’re happy to offer those not able to attend the 2008 WSOP in person an affordable and exciting online alternative,” says Alwyn Morris, CEO of the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, which runs Bodog in North America. “For only one percent of the standard WSOP Main Event buy-in cost, Bodog online poker players can have a shot at the Mini-SOP crown and three $12,000 prize packages including entry into the 2009 WSOP Main Event.”

The Bodog Poker Mini-SOP starts on May 30th through July 3rd, with the top 27 players (on the tournament leaderboard) competing in the final event to be held on July 10th. The top 3 finishers at the final event will each be awarded a $12,000 prize package to the 2009 WSOP Main Event. Places four through nine will receive $109 to buy into online poker tournaments in the Bodog Poker room.
