KAHNAWAKE, QC // Bodog.com Poker wants to send you to the 2010 World Series of Poker* in Las Vegas, NV. Four lucky players have already earned their selves a $12,000 prize package, including a $10,000 buy-in to the 2010 WSOP* Main Event. The next opportunity for players to win their way into the World Series Main Event is a big one. On Sunday, May 2 at 4:35pm ET, Bodog.com Poker will be running a $470+$30 buy-in satellite where another 10 Guaranteed Main Event seats will be up for grabs.

"I've proudly worn the red and black of Bodog.com Poker since signing on with them in 2005, and I can say from years of firsthand experience that there is no better way to experience the WSOP* than as a member of Team Bodog," says Bodog.com Poker Pro Evelyn Ng. "Most rooms will get you to Vegas and buy you into the Main Event, but that's about it. With Bodog you'll get your travel, accommodations and World Series Main Event buy-in covered, as well as some spending cash, loads of Bodog swag, a dedicated Team Bodog player handler to ensure you're always well taken care of, and an invitation to the exclusive annual Bodog.com Poker Players & Pros Social – which has proven to be a uniquely amazing and memorable experience each and every year."

On April 25, Bodog.com Poker held its first Main Event Satellite of the year where four players – Andrew "Longhorn_99" S., Tay "Huestertay" N., Matt "farmslicer7" F. and Nandit "Riyan" M. - earned $12,000 World Series Main Event prize packages. Those four players got especially lucky as the first Main Event Satellite had a more than $10,000 overlay. On Sunday, May 2 at 4:35pm ET Bodog.com Poker will run its second Main Event Satellite, where an even bigger overlay is expected, giving players huge value for their buy-in buck as the satellite will put another 10 Guaranteed World Series Main Event seats up for grabs.

At Bodog.com, Poker players also have the ability to choose how they get into any of this year's 10 Main Event Satellites. Players can buy directly in to a satellite for $470+$30, can earn a seat in the satellite by winning a $50+$5 Main Event Semi-Final, or can start with any number of $1+$0 Cheap Seat tournaments and work their way up to the Main Event satellite.

$1 Million is up for grabs.

Everest Poker, official sponsor of the World Series of Poker 2010, once again makes the biggest poker show on Earth even sweeter for its qualifiers with the “$1 Million Match” promotion. When you qualify for the WSOP with Everest Poker, you don’t need to make it into the money to fly home as a winner! Everest Poker will match the combined winnings of all its qualified players at the WSOP up to a one million dollars. This money will then be shared equally among all Everest qualifiers, no matter how they finished. Quite simply, all Everest Poker qualifiers are automatically eligible for their share of $1 Million.

Last year, Antoine Saout, a 25-year old French player from Brittany, France, qualified online with Everest Poker for the WSOP Main Event. He played the tournament of his life, making the November Nine and finishing 3rd, cashing approximately $3.5 Million.

It was not just great for Antoine, but also for the 51 other players who also qualified online at Everest. The full $1 Million Match was met and everyone shared a piece of it — $19,607 per player! As a result, all Everest Poker qualifiers played the WSOP Main Event for free while also taking home additional cash. The $1 Million Match extended more than financial benefits.
