Poker Bowl

September 10, 2004

Bodog.com Sportsbook, Casino and Poker™ announces the First Annual Bodog.com Poker Bowl.

The Bodog.com Poker Bowl runs throughout the 2004 NFL season, with the guaranteed prize pool at US $250,000.

“The new Poker Room has been a great success so far, and this is just one of many tournaments that Bodog.com will be making available,” said Rob Gillespie, former book manager and respected industry author. “We feel this event has the ability to become the Super Bowl of online poker tournaments, and live up to the high expectations of Bodog players.”

The First Annual Bodog.com Poker Bowl commences on Thursday September 9, 2004, to coincide with the start of the 2004 NFL regular season. Entrance to the Poker Bowl, and your chance at the $250,000 prize pool, costs only $5.50 for entrance to the first tier of competition. The grand finale will take place on Sunday February 6, 2005, the same day as the Super Bowl. With the finale taking place on Super Bowl Sunday, players will still able to catch the big game, as the Poker Bowl will be played well in advance of kick off. Since the Poker Bowl coincides with the NFL season, all matches will take place during NFL games this season.

“Everybody loves poker, and everybody loves football, it seems like a natural fit to combine the two of them,” said Gillespie. “We will be launching several innovative poker tournaments over the coming months, so keep your eyes on us for your chance at some amazing prizes.”
