Bodog Blogger Poker Tournament Host $mokkee stared down all takers and successfully nabbed his own bounty

Forty-five players suited up for this week’s Bodog Blogger Tournament Series to try and win their way into Bodog's Final Tournament of Champions.

This week’s tournament was unique in that their was a T$270 bounty on the head of $mokkee, the blogger tournament host, who triumphed and went on to win the victory and the $270 bounty on his own head which also included a seat in Bodog's 5-seat Guarantee on Sunday June 8th at :15 pm ET.

$mokkee is the first Bodog player to keep his own bounty. Bodog Poker pro Jean-Robert Bellande had a $100 bounty on his head in a previous blogger tournament, but went out before the 1st break. David Williams was able to hang onto his $100 bounty through to the 1st break, but was taken out shortly after by poker blogger Vinnay.

The Final Bodog Blogger Tournament of Champions is scheduled for Tuesday June 10th at 9:05 ET where the top 18 players are set to compete for a $12,000 WSOP prize package and be a part of Team Bodog 2008 during the WSOP Main Event starting July 3rd in Las Vegas.
