The Bodog Poker Open Main Event happened last Sunday and set a record for the biggest tournament in Bodog history! The prize pool was just over $300,000 after Bodog sweetened the pot with an additional $25,000.
The field of 596 brought out some heavy hitters like pros Annette "Annette_15? Obrestad, Kevin "beLOWaBOVe" Saul, Jon "PearlJammer" Turner, Eric "Rizen" Lynch and obviously, Bodog pros Josh Arieh, David Williams and Evelyn Ng.
In the end it was Shawn "phatcat" Luman who received the distinction of being named the first-ever Bodog Poker Champion. He earned $76,280 for his win as well as that super flashy and pimpin' Omega Speedmaster watch worth $4,400.
With the Bodog Poker Open all wrapped up for this year, the new focus in the Bodog Poker room will switch to the 2008 World Series of Poker qualifiers. There are at least four WSOP seats up for grabs every week in March and April with that number jumping to five per week in May and June.
