Record turnout in this week's Bodog Blogger Tournament

Thirty-Seven (37) players fired up their shiny new Bodog Poker client, ponied up $10+1 and went toe-to-toe for this week's $970 prize pool ($370 cash + T$600 courtesy of Bodog), surpassing Bodonkey's previous record of (34) players.

Before i get into announcing the top money finishers and this week's King of Bodonkery, i must say i'm extremely pleased with how this weekly bloggament field continues to grow. Bodog sweetens the prize pool for us every week. I understand the "official announcement" from Bodog's marketing rep making this year's Bodog Blogger Tournament series even sweeter, will hit the blogganet next week.

I've known about the forthcoming announcement of this year's added prizes for weeks and being unable to share the news has been killing me.

When i first made the switch to Bodog as my new home for poker anguish in August '07, i gave up the blogger comraderie, donkeypunching, drunken railchat and body slamming in most other weekly bloggaments hosted at Full Tilt. I never really imagined I'd be able to beg, coerce, bribe and pistol whip enough of the blogger faithful to make the Bodog Blogger tournament a regular weekly stop in LOL-bloggaments.

A HUGE thanks to all who've given the Bodog experience (i.e. stacking sports book/casino donkeys) a try.

On to this week's winners:

NumbBono, PokahDave, On_THG, Bdidde and PokerPeaker finished 6-10th respectively for T$11
Yestbay took 5th for $29 cash+T$109
the worst poker player wiggled his way into 4th for $44 cash+T$109
InstantTragedy slugged his way to 3rd for $59 cash+T$109
"ICrushBloggers" took over a 4-1 chip lead HU against Drizz for this week's Bodonkey title

Drizz bloggacrushered "IhaveaCrushonBloggers", overcoming a huge chip deficit for 1st place and $148 cash+T$109

"IwasCrusheredbyaBlogger" won $88 cash+T$109 for his 2nd place effort.




Watch out for next week's big announcement!

I usually can't play due to the little ones, but what a great overlay!

I hate the goddamn bubble -- almost bubbled the Skillz game, too, but squeezed into last pay spot.

Still, J3o in the SB with 1/4 of my stack on the blind, probably shove every time, but could have waited until button to shove ATC. God I suck.

It was fun, though, as always.

I have a feeling about next week. I've been running GOOT on Bodog. It's only time. And as for the worst poker player. Don't be too hard on him, its in his genes. He can't help his suckitude!

Thanks Smokkee for putting together one of the best tourneys in the internet.

Yeah I said it, so you guys can bag on me. Just spell my name right. That's TRAGEDY, Instant Tragedy.

Although I was sickly ripped off of my just and due win by ICrushBloggers awesome call with 55 to my re-jam all in with TT I enjoyed the tourney. It should keep growing. I especially liked taking you and ON_THG out as promised. I will get Instant Tragedy next week.

I had a good time in last week's game, and the bonus $T will definitely keep me coming back. Not to mention, I actually won some real dollars for a change. I just hope I can keep my lucky streak going.
