The full schedule for the Bodog Poker Open III (BPO III) is now available for perusing over at poker.bodoglife.com and it appears this most recent version has some substantial differences from the BPO I and II.

The Bodog Poker Open III, which is set to begin later this month (April 26th), will be similar to the recently completed PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP), in that it will offer tournament buy-ins for all levels of players.  The BPO III will feature a "Championship Series" with buy-in ranging from $55 to $500, a "Mid-Stakes Series" with ranges from $24 to $163 and a "Mini-Bounty Series" with ranges from $11 to $50.

Besides differences in buy-ins, each type of tournament series in this seasons BPO III has it's own unique appeal.  A good example of this would be the "Mini-Bounty Series" which, as the name in applies, offers bounties for knocking out key players in seven of the eight Series events.  Obviously some of the bountied players include Bodog pros like David Williams, Jean Robert Bellande, Evelyn Ng and PokerRoad's Justin Bonomo, but in a fun twist other bounties include regular Bodog players who have done well in past key tournaments, like Bodog's "12-Days of Poker" winners, Monthly TLB winners and of course past champions from the BPO II.
