With the 2009 WSOP now only about six weeks away, the 2008-2009 WSOP Circuit is wrapping up and Bodog Poker is giving online poker players the chance to qualify for the last event on the schedule being held May 18 at Harrah's New Orleans. On Monday, April 20, at 9pm, the "Flight Club – WSOPC New Orleans – 2 Seats" Semifinal event will offer one $7,000 WSOP Circuit prize package for every 28 players in the event with two of those packages guaranteed.

The buy-in for the Semifinal event is $250 + $20, but Bodog Poker is running qualifiers during the rest of this week and over the weekend as part of the Bodog Flight Club promotion, so players will have the opportunity to get into the Semifinal on the cheap and possibly turn just a few dollars into several hundred thousand. The WSOP Circuit event held at Caesars Atlantic City a month ago paid out $322,944 to the winner, and as New Orleans is always a popular destination for poker players, the prize pool is expected to be similar for this event.

The qualifiers for the Semifinal can be found under the "Live Events" tab in the Bodog Poker software.

Winners of this Bodog Flight Club package for the WSOP Circuit event in New Orleans will instantly become a member of Team Bodog, receiving $2,000 for travel and accommodation, the $5,000 buy-in to the championship event and the chance to make a little extra cash based on performance and exposure.
