An Incredible grand prize was announced by Bodoglife, with the main event awarding $300,000 guaranteed. Total cash for the eight day tournament will be more than $650,000, over the course of the weeklong Texas hold em tournament. The Bodog Texas Hold em tournament will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues until Sunday, October 5th. The well-known sportsbetting website will also feature six “Bounty” eliminatories, where the participants can win $109 in Texas Hold em credits for each Team Bodog poker player they knock out of the poker event. The biggest poker celebs will be taking on all rivals in the poker tournament.
Team Bodog star, Justin Bonomo, is definitely psyched about the Texas Hold em championship. Over the course of his poker playing career, the 23 year old has won around $1.4 million. He says that if you considered that the first poker tournament was great, you will definitely be astounded with this year’s poker contest and the prize money involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to eliminate him from the poker tournament to come forward.
The Kick off Bounty Tournament will be the first poker game in the contest on Sunday. Any poker player is able to buy-In directly into this, and any of the other poker games with cash. Or another alternative is to win their way into the events through the satellites which are being played every night during the Texas Hold em contest week. There will be six bounty eliminatories and seven “Championship Events”, which have higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.
Bodog’s event will have thirteen contests which will lead up to the main tournament on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the grand prize event with a guaranteed $300,000 in prize money, regardless of the number of poker players in the contest. All the poker challengers who want to enter the main event will have to shell out $500 for the buy-in and in return will be given 10,000 in poker chips.

Texas Holdem’ used to be a game available only in Sin City Hotels or from electronic poker machines, but now it is more in style than ever in Vegas thanks to the internet and TV.
The famous Venetian Casino, is now betting on this popularity with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its showroom located in the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino, beginning in October.
This new idea will join comedy and game show elements to entertain its live audience. The audience will also be able to join in the popular game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the best poker players in the world. The show has many prizes for the audience including a chance to win 1$ million.
In “The Real Deal!” the audience will play with players like Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Around 10 professional players have already signed up for the game show about poker. The audience will be able to play along with the 90 minute game thanks to handheld, wireless, touch screen devices located on each seat.
“People who come to Vegas casinos want to play poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a top poker tournament with the people like Doyle or Phil Hellmuth. But, in this show, they actually can.” At the beginning of each show, six audience members will be chosen to sit at the poker table on stage with two professional players. Each audience member is then involved in the action by being dealt a unique set of poker cards on their devices. Everyone in the showroom is then involved in the action with big-screen monitors located on stage.
The show’s producers say that you don’t have to be a poker player to join in the poker game. There are other ways to increase your point total, that doesn’t involve playing poker necessarily. Betting on the suit of the next poker card or trying to guess which state a particular audience member is from, are just some of the ways to come out a winner in this game.
Creators of the show are also placing bets on the personalities of the professional poker players to create some exciting moments. Someone like Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely can keep an audience entertained and will provide some great entertainment in this new idea for poker .

Online poker rooms and casinos such as Fulltiltpoker.com have begun to branch out more and more into foreign markets in order to supplement the income that has been lost in the domestic market due to the crackdown on Internet-based gambling by the United States government. With all the effort put forth by legislators and lawmakers in the American government, it seems that there is no end to the difficulties from the United States market in their attempts to provide a strong level of service for the online poker room and Casino industry. With such harsh and restrictive laws in place that make it nearly impossible for online poker rooms and casinos to operate, it is only logical for these types of establishments to branch out into other areas of the world such as Europe in order to supplement this lost amount of income. While in the past, it has been a simple matter to attract plenty of revenue from players around the world, it has become extraordinarily difficult to extract revenue from the American market due to the nearly impossible amount of workarounds that players have to deal with in order to compete at the online poker rooms and casinos, or even to fund their online poker room bankroll.
With these restrictive laws, the domestic revenue has been scaled back to an extreme extent making it necessary for the online poker rooms and online casinos to set their sights on Europe as a suitable replacement for the lack of United States-based income and the level of players that once called the market their home. Without this domestic revenue being generated, it is necessary to look at other sources of revenue from around the globe that can successfully shore up the necessary income that is required to continue operating by these extremely popular online poker rooms and casinos. By catering to European players and offering all manner of incentives similar to those that are so popular on the American market, online poker rooms and casinos have effectively mitigated their losses from the level of players that have been lost due to these restrictive legal practices in the United States. In the future, it remains to be seen what types of laws might be passed to restrict players abilities to compete in the European market as well. If this happens, it remains to be seen what other markets are left to be exploited by the ubiquitous online poker rooms and casinos.
