CarbonPoker's Turkey Grand Slam

Turkey Grand Slam Heads-Up Champion!
Thanksgiving is here and that means a few things: Turkey, Football and Poker... also family, but I think I covered the most important three first.
As you get ready for turkey day, spend some time honing your heads up poker skills to get ready for the Turkey Grand Slam at CarbonPoker on a US Poker Site.
How To Become The Grand Slam Champion
How do I get in? Good question! Just hit up any of CarbonPoker's specially designed Turkey Jackpot SnGs to earn Thanksgiving Leaderboard points. At the end of November, the Top 128 players on the Leaderboard will duke it out in a heads up tournament.
The Grand Slam Final works exactly the same as Wimbledon, where qualifiers will be pitted against each other in Heads-up battle and play down until we have just one Champion!
Half of each Turkey Jackpot SnG will be added to the Thanksgiving Jackpot - which already starts at $2,500. The more games that go off, the bigger the final prizes will be. And the more that you play, the better unique starting stack you'll have going into the final tourney!

Bodog Makes Triumphant Return To Bodog

On April 21, 2009, Morris Mohawk Gaming Group officially announced that it had reached an agreement resulting in the settlement of all pending patent litigation against a then defunct supplier company, which also resulted in the return of the world-renowned Bodog.com domain. After much discussion and careful consideration, it was determined that the Bodog.com domain is simply too valuable an asset to be used solely as a geo-targeted redirect. As such, it is with great pride that Morris Mohawk Gaming Group announces the official return of Bodog.com. Starting today, Bodog.com will once again become the center of operations for the Bodog brand’s United States facing business!

“Gaining ownership of the Bodog.com domain was a moment of immense pride for me, it felt akin to taking ownership of a piece of Bodog’s history,” says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. “As the exclusive licensee of the Bodog brand for online gaming in the United States, we are overjoyed to not only be a part of the return of one of the industry’s most prestigious and recognizable domains, but to also be the driving force behind the brands operation in that market. Bodog.com is back and here to stay!”

Even though the Bodog.com domain will house the brand’s U.S. facing business, the return of the domain will be beneficial for all of the brand’s global licensees as, regardless of a player’s location, going to Bodog.com will automatically redirect that player to the appropriate licensee for their jurisdiction.

The official return of Bodog’s U.S. facing business to the Bodog.com domain is another addition to the growing list of achievements and milestones that’s making 2009 a banner year for the Bodog brand, and one of the brands best years to date. Best of all, the halfway mark of 2009 has only just passed, and there are sure to be more big announcements from the brand before the year is out! Don’t miss a minute of the action, visit www.bodog.com.

Bodog Launches Mac Compatible Instant Play Poker



Bodog is giving online poker players (Mac users included) the chance to play on the virtual felt anytime, anywhere, with its new Instant Play poker client. With absolutely no software to download, all a player needs to instantly access the Bodog Poker Room is a web browser and an Internet connection.
The flash-based poker client currently allows players to play one Texas Hold'em cash game table and features many of the same innovations as the downloadable Bodog Poker client, including a resizable window, a player spotlight that highlights action as it moves around the table, player-to-player chat, game details and other customizable options.
"The new Instant Play option at Bodog is perfect for when I want to play poker on my Mac or play cash games on a friend's computer who may not have the Bodog Poker client installed," says Bodog Poker Pro Evelyn Ng. "You can even snatch a few games at work."
Indeed, the Instant Player version of Bodog Poker gives players total freedom to play when and where they want, whether it's getting in 20 minutes of poker during a break at work, playing a marathon session from a hotel room while on a business trip, or hitting the tables on that shiny new Mac at home.
Players using Instant Play for cash game action also have access to amazing incentives. The "Points to Cash" program lets players accumulate points just for playing – win or lose – that can be cashed in for up to $500 a month. The Royal Flush Bonus awards 50 times the big blind up to $200 if a player takes down a pot holding the king of all poker hands and, conversely, the Bad Beat Bonus awards 100 times the big blind up to $1,000 if that seemingly dominant hand is crushed by one better.

Bodog Flight Club – Main Event – 4 Seats

Just in time for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four weekend, Bodog Poker will be holding its own semifinal and giving online poker players a rare opportunity to play in a different kind of Final Four tournament, with four seats to the 2009 WSOP up for grabs.

Bodog Poker is guaranteeing four seats to the 2009 WSOP in Las Vegas!

Here are the details: The “Bodog Flight Club - Main Event - 4 Seats ” semifinal will be held on Sunday, April 5th, at 4:35pm ET, and will guarantee four $12,000 WSOP Main Event packages, one to each of the last four players remaining in the event.

Winners of a Bodog Flight Club $12,000 WSOP prize package will instantly become a member of Team Bodog, receiving $2,000 for travel and accommodation, the $10,000 buy-in to the Main Event, a Bodog Poker swag bag and the chance to make a little extra cash based on performance and exposure.

PokerStars Sets World Record

Everyone was certain that PokerStars would hit the 35,000-player mark it needed to get the latest Sunday tournament into the Guinness World Records. True enough, hitting the 35,000 player cap was so easy that a lot of poker players were left on the waitlist. The PokerStars Guinness World Record Tourney is now awaiting certification and is expected to be formally listed as a record in the next few weeks.

PokerStars happily forked over enough cash for the overlay since it was a $500,000 guarantee tournament. Thanks to the online site’s generosity, 8,750 players made in into the money—a record in itself. With the Stars’ “Guinness World Record Tourney”, PokerStars defeated its old record of 20,000 players that was set during a Stars Sunday Hundred Grand tournament on July 29, 2007.
