While we've been up to our necks with what is already becoming an amazing World Series of Poker, both for Team Bodog and poker in general, Bodog Poker's Mini-SOP has been pulling in some impressive numbers of its own.

There have now been five events of the Bodog Mini-SOP so far, which have drawn a total of 908 players that have combined to generate a total prizepool of $25,535. With 20 events still to play, these numbers are sure to increase as more and more players get excited about the WSOP and want to take part in Bodog Poker's homage to the biggest poker tournament in the world.

Here are the results for the latest Bodog Mini-SOP events:

Event #3

After the completion of the 25 events of the Bodog Mini-SOP, Bodog will host a final tournament on July 10 that will award three seats to the 2009 WSOP Main Event, making Bodog the first online poker site to give away seats to next summer's Main Event.

There are also still plenty of opportunities available to qualify for this year's WSOP Main Event because Bodog is guaranteeing at least six $12,000 Main Event Prize Packages each and every week. 2008 WSOP online poker satellites start for as little as $1 and winners of a $12,000 Main Event Prize Package receive the $10,000 buy-in to the main event, $2,000 for travel expenses, loads of Team Bodog gear and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Las Vegas in total Bodog style, including meeting the Bodog Girls and much, much more.
