In a press release distributed by the online poker room on Friday, 23 year-old Team Bodog member Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo stated, “Whoever said sequels are never as good as the original certainly wasn’t talking about the Bodog Poker Open II. The first BPO was pretty big, but the BPOII takes it to a whole new level with more events, more money guaranteed, deeper stacks, and they’re keeping it fun along the way with bounty tournaments. I welcome all players to take a shot at me during the series.”
Other members of Team Bodog include World Series of Poker bracelet winner David Williams, Evelyn Ng, and “Survivor: China” contestant Jean-Robert Bellande. The first Bodog Poker Open Main Event was won by Shawn “phatcat” Luman. Here’s how that final table shook out when it was played in March:
