Matt "mattboom" McCullough Wins Bodog $100k Guaranteed Online Poker Tourney

[I Heart Gambling Online]

Another tough field of online poker players came out to the Bodog Poker room to play in the $100,000 Guaranteed online poker tournament and Bodog regular Matt "mattboom" McCullough emerged victorious to take home the $23,600 first-place prize.

If McCullough's name sounds familiar, it definitely should. He was the last remaining American poker player standing at the 2007 WSOP Europe Main Event last September as a member of Team Bodog and went on to finish third behind John Tabatabai and WSOPE champion Annette "Annette_15″ Obrestad.

Looks like McCullough is polishing his game a little in Bodog's online poker room in preparation for the quickly-approaching 2008 WSOP in Vegas that kicks off just three weeks from now (holy crap, that's soon). Based on this result, we'd like to say that he's in good form and should do well in Vegas. There was also something about a toga-wearing prop bet between him and fellow WSOPE Team Bodogger Matt "thatsNice" Larsh, but we're not sure how that will pan out.

Anyway, here are the full final table placings and payouts from last night:

1. Matt "mattboom" McCullough - $23,600
2. BadReception - $13,600
3. VOODOOCHILE - $9,100
4. rusostreet - $7,000
5. any2willdo4me - $5,700
6. SlowrollinWorm - $4,500
7. wildcrazyjohnny - $3,300
8. bg20mu - $2,200
9. MNEMIC_UK - $1,300

If you want a chance to see McCullough and Larsh possibly in togas and experience the 2008 WSOP as a member of Team Bodog, then head over to the Bodog Poker room.
