Josh Arieh's Bodog Bounty

Contributing Writer: Shannan Powell

Congratulations are in order to fellow poker blogger Abby17, who took out Josh Arieh in the Bodog Poker blogger tournament this past Wednesday. Strong play by Abby17 busted Josh in 47^th place overall, out of 53 tournament players. Abby17 not only collected the $100 bounty on Arieh’s head, but also went on to finish third in the standings for this week’s tournament.

The Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament is guaranteeing a seat for one skilled poker blogger at the WSOP Main Event, as part of a $12,000 WSOP prize package. Weekly qualifiers are being run every Tuesday through June 3^rd, with the top 18 players competing on June 10^th for the grand prize, and of course bragging rights. Buying in to the weeklies is reasonable, at $10+$1. The prize package includes the WSOP seat, plus $2,000 for travel and expenses.

To qualify to play in the tournament, you must be an active poker blogger, with a Bodog account, and submit your blog to Bodog for review. If you are approved, you will receive the link from Bodog that will allow you to go and pay your buy-in and secure your seat in the qualifier. The top five players each week will earn a $109 credit and the top five bubble players get an $11 credit, allowing them to enter the next week for free.

Good luck to all of the bloggers taking part in the tournament. We look forward to watching one of our own take part in this year’s WSOP main event.
