The Bodog Poker Open III is getting underway on April 26th and will continue through to May 3rd; it'll be the only place to be during those dates – here's what it's all about and what there is to win.

The Bodog Poker Open III is a championship series running for 8 days at the end of April and the beginning of May with a total of more than $280,000 in guaranteed prize-pools. You will find a grand variety of tournaments featured in the schedule, and there are satellites running now. The tournament types are bounty, guaranteed, and money added, and a good variety of buy-in levels are covered. For the higher rollers amongst you, the Championship Series will be of great appeal whilst the Mid Stakes Tournament Series will be equally attractive for some. Not to be left out however, those of smaller bankrolls, or simply less experience might like to check out the Mini-Bounty Tournament Series which offers guaranteed cash prize-pools with less pressure.

There are 26 events in total making up the Bodog Poker Open III and buy-ins start from just $10 and go up to $470. The Bodog Poker Open III Championship Tournament Series Main Event will be running on Sunday May 3rd at 4 pm ET. This Bodog Poker Open is considerably larger than the last one which had 14 events and attracted 3,539 players. That series saw over $700,000 awarded in prizes including $75,000 for the Main Event first place prize.
