The Black Diamond Poker Open has returned to Bovada Poker, launching today, Monday, February 4, 2013 and running through March 24, 2013. It’s made up of 86 different events worth a total $850,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Action is available in this contest for low limit and high limit players alike, as well as players who prefer Stud or Omaha in addition to their usual No Limit Hold’em.

The Bovada Poker Black Diamond Poker Open (BDPO) is broken down into two series’: the Contender Series, which runs between February 10 and 24, and the Championship Series, which runs between March 10 and 24.

The Contender Series offers more than $150K guaranteed, starting with a kickoff event $10K GTD on Sunday, Feb 10. The Contender Series consists of micro stakes to mid-stakes events for buy-ins as low as $1. The Contender Series Main Event offers $30,000 guaranteed and takes place on Sunday, Feb 24.

The Championship Series offers more than $700K guaranteed, starting with a kickoff event $25K GTD on Sunday, March 10. The series consists of mid to high-stakes events culminating in a $250K GTD Main Event taking place Sunday, March 24.

The overall champion of the 2013 BDPO will win at least $50,000 cash and an engraved limited edition watch worth $5,000.

Players can buy-in directly to any BDPO event or they can win their seat in these events through over 2,000 satellites and qualifiers running now at Bovada Poker. Qualifier freerolls award seats in $1 + $0.10 satellites which in turn award seats in the BDPO itself.

There are also Super Saturday Satellite Tournaments scheduled on the Saturday before each series’ main event which awards a whole bunch of seats in their corresponding event as well.

Many Ways to Enter Bovada Poker’s $100K Guaranteed

Last Updated on

Bovada Poker runs several tournament series with big money prize pools, not least being the $100K guaranteed event that takes place every Sunday afternoon at the site at 4:00 pm ET. Best of all, qualifiers into this event start at only $1 to enter.

The qualifying schedule for the weekly $100k GTD starts with cheap seats for just a $1 + $0 buy-in. For every $17 collected in the prize pool at each of these events, 1 player will advance to one of the $100k Semi Final events of the player’s choice. These take place three times a day, Mondays through Sundays.

Semi Finals take place throughout the week for a range of buy-ins between $7 + $0.70 and $35 + $3.50.

There are also special 30-seat and 50-seat qualifiers, both with $18 + $1.80 buy-ins, each awarding to that many top players seats in the $100k guaranteed main event. Players can also enter the 50 seat special qualifier with Bovada Poker points by using the PTS to TT converter tool the site provides. In that case, the buy-in would be 1,750 points.

And then there are Last Chance Tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $4 + $0.40 to $30 + $3 awarding seats in the $100k GTD for every $162 in the prize pool.

The partial payout structure listed for Bovada Poker’s weekly $100,000 guaranteed tournament is a minimum of $20k for first place, a minimum of $13k for second place and a minimum of $10k for third place.

Be Bovada Poker’s Next King of the Felt

Last Updated on

One of Bovada Poker’s most popular ongoing promotions is its King of the Felt competition for Sit and Go tournament players.

Finish in first or second place in at least 3 Bovada Poker Sit and Go tournaments within a single week and you’ve got a shot at a $2,500 in weekly freerolls and a weekly heads-up tournament with a prize of $1,000. Meet the preliminary requirement of 3 win or place finishes in Bovada Poker sit and gos and earn a ticket in a drawing. Win or place in more than 3 sit and gos at the site and earn additional tickets as follows:

• win or place in 3-5 SNGs and earn 1 entry

• win or place in 6-8 SNGs and earn 2 entries and a seat in the weekly $1,500 King of the Felt freeroll tournament

• win or place in 9 or more SNGs and earn 3 entries and a seat in both the weekly $1,500 and $1,000 King of the Felt freerolls as well.

The weekly drawing takes place every Monday and whichever player wins it gets to play heads-up against the reigning King of the Felt for a $1,000 prize and the title of new reigning King of the Felt. The longer you can retain your title, the more prizes you can win. A 5-week winning streak as reigning King of the Felt comes with a $2,500 prize. And if you can retain the title of King of the Felt for 10 weeks in a row, you’ll win a seat in the 2013 World Series of Poker main event.

Bovada Poker Holds Blackjack WSOP Promotion

Last Updated on


If there’s one game associated with the World Series of Poker it’s poker, of course. But that’s not stopping Bovada Poker from adding a little Blackjack action to this year’s WSOP mix.

The Bovada Poker Blackjack WSOP is a promotion that combines the best of two games: blackjack and poker. Specifically, you play one to win free entry into the other: that is, you play blackjack online at Bovada Poker for a chance to win a seat at this year’s World Series of Poker 2012 main event in Las Vegas.

To participate, just play in 21 hands of blackjack at Bovada Poker between June 1 and 21, 2012. This will grant you entry into a Private Blackjack Main Event Freeroll, an exclusive event with no other form of entry and one grand prize of a $12,000 WSOP main event prize package. Runners-up win prizes worth another $5,500-plus.

The grand prize package, worth $12,000, includes the $10k buy-in for the WSOP main event, $2k to spend on travel and accommodations, luxury player suite access, and an invitation to an exclusive party.

The 20 runner-up prizes totalling $5,500 range from $21 each for 14th through 21st places to $2,100 for second place.

To qualify, the minimum bet on each of the 21 hands of blackjack you play to earn your freeroll entry is $5. Only blackjack hands played through the Bovada Poker software count for this contest; blackjack played in the Bovada Casino download casino or instant casino do not qualify.

Bovada Poker’s Private Blackjack Main Event Freeroll takes place on Sunday, June 24 at 8:10 pm ET.
