In just a couple of days, Team Bodog will once again be in attendance at a major international poker tournament. This time, Team Bodog sponsored poker pros and several other Team Bodog poker players will be heading to London to try to replicate the success they enjoyed last year at the WSOP Europe.

Along with Bodog pros David Williams, Justin Bonomo and Jean-Robert Bellande will be Team Bodog poker players who have enjoyed their own fair amount of success recently, including someone who is very familiar with success at the WSOP Europe. Matt McCullough, a 27-year-old amateur player from Cherry Hill, N.J., made history last year after he qualified for the main event on Bodog and went on to finish third in the WSOP Europe Main Event to earn $766,674 and the distinction of being the final American in the tournament.

Also representing Team Bodog in London is Yevgeniy Timoshenko, a 20-year-old poker ace from the U.S. of Ukrainian descent. Timoshenko is coming off a spectacular win last month at the largest poker tournament in Asia, the 2008 APT Macau, where he banked $500,000.

"Bodog is sending a great group of players across the Atlantic this year, and we're all hungry to bring home a bracelet for Bodog," said Bodog poker pro and WSOP-bracelet winner David Williams. "I'm especially excited to have Matt and Yevgeniy joining us in London. Both guys have scored big this past year, and I'll be looking for them as well as the rest of Team Bodog to go deep in London."

Tournament officials have added an extra event to the WSOP Europe schedule, giving poker players a fourth chance to win a WSOP bracelet this year. The inaugural £10,000 World Championship No-Limit Hold'em Main Event drew some of the biggest names in poker and paid out an incredible £1,000,000 to eventual champion and noted online poker pro Annette "Annette_15″ Obrestad. Team Bodog will be looking to add some of this prize money to their already impressive showing at the 2008 WSOP over the summer, which earned them more than $1.6 million.
