Bodog Poker will be sending 30 of its players to the Punta Cana Poker Classic, taking place in the Dominican Republic and featuring a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. From September 1 through October 16, Bodog Poker is holding a series of satellite qualifiers for tournament players and random drawings for cash game and sit and go tournament players to find the members of Team Bodog to send to this anticipated annual event.
The qualifier series is built of three different levels, each of which you can enter directly by paying the respective prize pool or win your way into via the previous event. It starts with a $0.50 + $0.05 Cheap Seat, leads into a $35 + $3.50 Punta Cana Semifinal which in turns leads to the $230 + $20 Punta Cana Satellite where the prize packages will be awarded.
Each of the 30 Punta Cana Poker Classic prize packages up for grabs is worth $4,000 and includes the $1,650 buy-in into the main event, a 5-night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, a travel allowance of $1,000, a $1,500 voucher to spend on hotel amenities and access to exclusive side events, cash games and hotel entertainment and nighttime activities.
The other way you can win one of these 30 free seats in the $500K guaranteed Punta Cana Poker Classic is through the Qualify by Draw route. Here, you receive one draw entry and $10 for for every 75 poker points you earn. You can earn an unlimited number of draw tickets this way, but only a maximum cash reward of $150.
Hi all. I won a ticket to this thing and wondered if anyone else wanted to e-meet before heading out?
Hey there, is the trip all inclusive for 2 people or just 1?
I’m pretty sure it’s for just 1 person, there is a fee for an added guest.
Yeah its $500 extra for a 2nd person to share the room and get the all-inclusive thing i believe
Hey Pete, I just won mine last night too. Be more than happy to e-meet. And for the extra guest, it is 500 bucks, I spoke directly with the tournaments coordinator and have confirmed this.
