Bodog is Super Bowl Sunday’s place to be

For something to do while watching the big game, or even better if you’re not into American football, Bodog Poker is hosting two tournaments worthy of the Super Bowl Title.

On Saturday the 31st, the first of two tournaments gets the green light. This special Flight Club Semifinal sports a $125 + $10 buy-in, with one LAPT Punta Del Este package awarded for every 48 entries (one guaranteed).

The LAPT package worth $6000 includes:

• $3,700 buy-in to the LAPT Punta del Este  Main Event
• $2,300 cash for travel and expenses

Here’s all the information on Saturday’s tournament:

• Name:  Special Flight Club Semifinal.
• Date:  Saturday, January 31 at 4pm ET.
• Buy-in:  $125 + $10.
• Prizes: 1 player for every 48 entries will win a $6,000 Bodog Flight  Club Prize Package to the LAPT Event in Punta Del Este, Uruguay from  March 18 to 20.
• Chips:  3,000.
• Levels: 15 minutes .

Super Bowl Sunday’s the big day. Starting at the same time as the big game, Bodog Poker is launching their Super Bowl Special tournament. This tournament is a $100 + $9 buy-in, with $20,000 added to the total prize pool by Bodog.

Not only is the rake slightly cheaper than average (9% instead of 10%), but the added $20,000 to the prize pool gives additional value to every player who signs up. The Super Bowl Special is set to replace the regular $100,000 guarantee.

Details on Sunday’s tournament:

• Name:  Super Bowl Special – $20K Added
• Date:  Sunday, February 1st at 4pm ET
• Buy-in:  $100 + $9
• Bonus:  Bodog will add $20,000 to the prize pool
• Chips:  2,500
• Levels:  15 minutes

It’s not every day you’ll find a tournament with overlay on a major site. As many poker players know, any tournament with overlay is a great tournament to be in. $20,000 added for a $100 buy-in tournament is a substantial overlay. Essentially, when you’re dealt your first hand, it’s as if 200 players have already been eliminated. This “free money” greatly increases any tournament player’s EV.
