11 Players Join Team Bodog to Play at the World Poker Finals

Poker powerhouse Bodog.com will send 11 poker players to the main event of the World Poker Finals, which take place between November 12 and 16, for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to become poker's next TV superstar and millionaire.

The nationally televised tournament, which is to be held in Connecticut, will give the 11 Team Bodog members, each of whom qualified on Bodog.com, an opportunity for big-time TV exposure, major cash winnings and a dream-come-true chance to play with the pros, including Team Bodog poker professional David Williams.

'The World Poker Finals is one of the richest and most respected tournaments on the World Poker Tour,� said Calvin Ayre, founder Bodog.com. �We're thrilled to have these 11 players join David Williams on Team Bodog, as they compete for a shot at poker fame and fortune.'

Held in the largest casino-based poker room in the US, the World Poker Finals annually showcases one of the largest fields and cash purses on the World Poker Tour.

Last year's World Poker Finals featured a total cash purse of more than $7.8 million, with the winner taking home a hefty $2.1 million, and tournament officials anticipate this year's event to surpass 2005's record-setting amounts.
