With the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) only a month away, it’s about time we get the chance to say this - “Badog.com Poker is hosting WSOPE Qualifiers!” Yes, they’ve been practically absent from the online poker world thus far, (appearing only at Full Tilt Poker), but Badog.com  has finally announced the addition of WSOPE Qualifiers in its online poker tournament schedule.

From now until the kick-off of the WSOPE Semifinal on September 7th, Badog Poker is holding WSOPE Qualifiers every day, with buy-ins starting as low as $1. All WSOPE Qualifiers lead the winning players towards a seat in the WSOPE Semifinal, which guarantees at least two seats in the WSOP Europe Main Event.

The prize package is worth a total of $24,000, including the approximate $20k buy-in to the WSOPE Main Event, plus round-trip airfare with opulent transportation service to and from the airport, luxury hotel accommodations, exclusive player gear from Team Badog.com and of course, some extra spending cash.

London, England will set the scene for the 2008 WSOPE Main Event, lasting 6 days from September 27th through October 2nd. An official bracelet event, the 2008 WSOPE, now in its second year, will for be broadcast on ESPN for the first time in the United States.

Last year, Badog Poker player Matt McCullough earned his seat in the European version of the world’s most prestigious live poker event through Bodog Poker qualifiers, and impressed the world by being the longest lasting American in the Main Event. McCullough finish in 3rd place, surviving a field of 623 to pocket $766,674.

“We’re excited to award our online qualifiers a prize package that allows them to live it up in London like they’ve already struck it rich, even before the first cards are dealt,” came the comments of Alwyn Morris, CEO of Morris Mohawk Gaming Group. “We had an incredible run at last year’s tournament with one of our online qualifiers, Matt McCullough, finishing third, and we’re hoping to see Bodog back at the final table again—this time taking home the bracelet.”
