The upcoming Bodog Poker Open II represents a significant expansion over March's inaugural series, which included six events. The BPO I Main Event included a $25,000 kick-in from Bodog and built to a $305,120 prize purse, the richest in the site's history. Shawn "phatcat" Luman won that tourney, collecting $76,280 for the effort.
The upcoming series also includes an added twist in the form of bounties on several well-known Bodog pros. Six of the events will be designated as "bounty" tourneys, where Bodog-sponsored players Jean-Robert Bellande, Evelyn Ng, David Williams and Justin Bonomo will participate. Knocking out any of these pros brings the fortunate player achieving the feat $109 in tournament credits, which can be used in nightly BPO II Main Event satellites.
