The 2013 Black Diamond Poker Open at Bodog Poker reached record levels, with $1,200,000 available in prize money, and now as the third year of the event opens there are the kind of prizes which might welcome to people away from their normal games at Slots Oasis Casino online in order to take part. More than double the previous prize pool is now up for grabs, at a current total of more than $3 million. The qualifiers start from this Tuesday, so make sure you are in there if you want to be in with a chance of getting your hands on some of that prize money for yourself.
Online poker tournaments are normally seen as the domain of the professional player, and so they new players tend to avoid them, but the Black Diamond Poker Open is different because it was designed specifically with new players in mind. It also has a series of specifically for those players who are a bit more advanced, which means that everyone gets a place to play and they should not be too much interaction between those who are very advanced and those who are only just starting out. This gives everyone the chance to win, without the threat of falling prey to someone who has been playing for fifteen years longer than you have and therefore is always going to have the upper hand. The anonymous tables which are available at Bodog Poker guarantee that those players who are involved in a more recreational experience can still have a great time, as opposed to the other sites where professional players or those who take the game a lot more seriously can use data mining in order to get the edge over those who are just having fun by taking a look at their statistics and finding out what kind of strategies they are likely to be using.
The contender series will be running for three weeks starting from Tuesday and there will be a total of 100 events included, with a Kickoff Event, a Main Event, a Second Chance Event, and a Wrap Up Event as well as other competitions with buy ins ranging from three dollars +30 cents to 50 dollars +5 dollars. The main event will have a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000, so it is certainly worth taking a chance at. $500,000 in cash prizes will be guaranteed from the very beginning, with the prediction being that everything will go up much higher than that. The week-long schedule will have a regular no limit hold ‘em event taking place at 8 PM, a limit hold ‘em event at 9 PM, and a turbo no limit event at 10 PM. There will be five or six events taking place each day on weekends. They have managed to avoid several of the major holidays which are taking place around this time, which means that it should be even better for players to enjoy.
