March 31, 2008

Norway native finishes fifth to take home €175,000

LONDON - Team Bodog finished in the money again at the Irish Open with Kai Paulsen from Trondheim, Norway walking away from the tables with €175,000 after finishing in fifth place, his biggest win yet.

Paulsen was one of seven qualifiers representing Team Bodog in the Main Event at the City West Hotel in Dublin. Paulsen started out well on the final day; however, new champion Neil Channing controlled the table from the start and walked away with €800,000.

Two further Team Bodog players also cashed out in the tournament with Timothy Barany from Indiana, U.S., finishing in 61st place with €5,500 and Magnus Hulden from Helsinki, Finland cashing out with €4,500.

"Team Bodog had a great showing at the Irish Open," says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. "2008 is off to a fantastic start for Team Bodog, and we're expecting the year to only get better from here on in."

Each of the seven Team Bodog members earned their entry through the Irish Poker Open online qualifiers throughout January and February at Bodoglife.com. The qualifier winners were each rewarded with a $9,000 prize package that included the tournament buy-in, travel expenses and Team Bodog gear along with the attention of a personal Team Bodog handler.
