Bodog.com is giving online poker players one last shot at winning a seat to the 2009 World Series of Poker* Main Event the easy and affordable way. This Sunday, June 14, at 4:35pm EST, Bodog.com is hosting its final WSOP* Main Event Semi Final, where, regardless of how many players enter, four players are guaranteed to walk away with a $12,000 Main Event prize package.

"The World Series may already be underway in Las Vegas, but there's still time to qualify for the one event that guarantees you poker immortality," says Bodog.com Poker Pro Justin Bonomo. "With qualifiers running for as little as a $1, and plenty of options to choose from, Bodog.com is making it easy and affordable for you to get there. Don't miss out. Get in on the action before it's too late."

With Bodog.com's simple tournament structures, players with any size of bankroll can qualify for a seat to the richest and most prestigious tournament in the world. Qualifiers for as a little as $1, or 100 Bodog Poker Points (PTS) are running daily in the Bodog.com Online Poker Room, and players can earn seats through Cheap Seats qualifiers, Sit & Gos, Last Chance qualifiers, Bodog Poker Points, or via a straight buy-in into the Semi Final event on June 14.

While it is the seat to the Main Event that everyone wants, Bodog.com's coveted prize packages give players so much more, ensuring a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Las Vegas even if you don't walk away with the bracelet. In addition to the $10,000 Main Event buy-in, Team Bodog players receive $2,000 for travel to and accommodation in Las Vegas and a stylish Bodog gear bag filled with the industry's most fashionable table-wear and accessories, including nine different articles of Bodog clothing, a limited-edition Bodog card protector, plenty of patches for players to wear and take advantage of Bodog's generous exposure bonuses, and a brand new Sony PSP with an expanded memory card.

Team Bodog members will also have access to VIP events and an exclusive player's club evening on July 2, held in the Kingpin Fantasy Suite at the Palms Hotel. The invite-only event will be hosted by Bodog.com Poker Pros David Williams, Justin Bonomo, Jean-Robert Bellande and Evelyn Ng and will feature an open bar, DJ, delicious food, plenty of bowling, and of course the famous Bodog Girls. Like in years past, attendees can expect heads-up poker matches, friendly wagers over the other games set up in the suite, and maybe even a shot to battle Bodog's resident Rock Band and Guitar Hero pro, Evelyn Ng.

Finally, all Bodog.com players will have their progress reported in the World Series section on the Bodog Beat and have dedicated team handlers on-site to ensure their needs are met as they focus on the action at the tables.

The preliminary events at the World Series in Las Vegas are already underway, and Bodog's Pros got off to an amazing start. In the first open event of the series, the $40,000 buy-in Special 40th Annual No Limit Holdem tournament, Bodog.com Poker Pro Justin Bonomo charged his way to the final table against the finest field of poker pros ever assembled. The 23-year-old held a strong chip lead throughout most of the tournament, and finished in fifth place, taking home $413,165. Last year, Bodog.com Poker Pros and qualifiers walked away with a combined total of $1,629,767 in winnings from the World Series.
