The third day of the Bodog Poker Open II wrapped up with the crowning of another champion and several more bounty winners. Online poker player "DeRose84″ received $18,000 for claiming victory in Event No. 4, a 6-Handed No Limit Holdem tournament with a $60,000 Guaranteed prize pool. "011jp" won the $5,000 Guaranteed Pot Limit Holdem bounty tournament, earning $1,335 for that accomplishment.

Mike "DeRose84″ DeRose has been playing regularly on Bodog for just under two years and has found his way to the top of many tournaments in the Bodog Poker room. However, the $18,000 he received for beating out 159 other players is by far his largest cash, and this bankroll infusion should definitely mean that we'll see even more of him for years to come.

Here are the full final table placings and payouts:

1. DeRose84 - $18,000.00
2. boondock11 - $12,000.00
3. R0ach11 - $7,140.00
4. mapsfly - $4,800.00
5. Redone212 - $3,900.00
6. grandmabodog - $3,000.00

The $20 + $2 buy in Pot Limit Holdem bounty tournament once again drew a hefty number of entrants (267) and once again saw a targeted player reach the final table. Shawn "phatcat" Luman, winner of the Bodog Poker Open I Main Event, relinquished his bounty to eventual winner "011jp" when he went out in ninth place. Each bounty winner received a T$109 buy-in to play in a Main Event Satellite that run nightly at 9:20pm ET and throughout the day this coming Saturday, otherwise known as "Satellite Saturday."

Here are the final table finishers and payouts:

1. 011jp - $1,335.00
