Bodog Poker recently awarded the very first seats into the 2009 World Series of Poker main event. The seats were awarded to three players, “pokerfanx789,” “dudix,” and “Boswan,” as a result of a promotion involving the site’s Bodog Poker Mini Series final event.

Bodog Poker hosted a Mini Series this year, a 25-tournament series that mirrored the Hold’em events at the 2008 WSOP with buy-ins equal to 1% of the actual WSOP event buy-in.

The final event was a 27-player tournament consisting of the top four players on the Mini Series tournament leaderboard, 18 players from the semifinal qualifier and five selected through wild-card drawings of players who entered at least three Mini Series events.

The three winners each received a $12,000 VIP package that includes a 2009 $10,000 main event buy-in, as well as spending money for travel and expenses.

Bodog will continue to run qualifiers to the biggest tournaments in the world. The easiest way to qualify for an event is to win a Bodog Player’s Choice package, which can be used at the winners’ discretion.
