Bovada Poker introduces a brand new online poker tournament series, this one with a $750,000 prize purse. It’s called Bovada Black Diamond Poker Open (BDPO) and it’s comprised of 52 online poker events in Hold’em, 7 Card Stud and more. It includes shootouts, knockouts, and a wide assortment of other poker and tournament variants.
There are two series’ making up the Bovada Black Diamond Poker Open. Between March 5 and 18 there’s the $100k Guaranteed, lo-to-mid stakes Contender Series and between March 19 and April 1 there’s the $600k Guaranteed mid-to-hi stakes Championship Series. Each series has its own main event: the Contender Series Main Event offers $25k guaranteed and the Championship Series Main Event offers $250k guaranteed. Win the Championship Series Main Event and you’re guaranteed $50,000 cash, at least.
It all starts on March 4, 2012 with a $20k Guaranteed Kick-Off event.
Players can either buy-in directly to these events or win themselves seats through Bovada Poker’s Black Diamond Poker Open Satellite Tournament Series, made up of more than 2,000 satellite qualifiers for BDPO events.
Each BDPO tournament has a path of satellites starting with buy-ins as low as $1 and increasing gradually as the path to the BDPO event shortens.
The complete calendar of all fifty-two Bovada Black Diamond Poker Open tourneys can be found at the Bovada Poker website, while the full satellite calendar can be found in Bovada Poker’s Scheduled Tournament lobby under the Special tab.
