From now until October 16, 2011 poker players can get their hands on Punta Cana Poker Classic prize packages valued at $4,000 a piece by participating in special tournaments at Bodog Poker.

Players can either qualify by draw playing in sit and gos and cash games for points towards entries or by participating in qualifiers which take you to the special Punta Cana Satellites. 

The highly sought after prize package includes:

The guaranteed prize pool tournaments at Bodog will be getting a lot more attention as the site’s traffic is up an amazing 26% and growing since the world’s leading online poker sites recently closed their doors to US players. A whole slew of guaranteed events are on the roster every day at Bodog starting with the daily $3,000 Guaranteed which takes place at midnight all the way up to the $100K Guaranteed which is held every Sunday afternoon at 4PM ET.

Online poker players that have just been locked out of one of the four sites over the weekend can breathe a little easier because Bodog still accepts players from the US and right now, they are hosting a very special promotion entitled King of the Felt. “How long will your reign at the top last?” reads the site’s promotions page. “Play for a chance to be crowned king of the felt and win $1,000 in weekly heads up prizes.”

Bodog is more than just a sportsbook and to prove that they have launched a new King of the Felt competition. Place in 3 or more Sit and Go poker tournaments in a week and you could compete for the title of King of the Felt and at least $1,000 in weekly prize money.
