Lining up for this particular honor is quite simple. All one must do is cash in a minimum of three qualifying sit and go’s, which will earn a ticket in the weekly drawing. At the end of the week, Bodog will select one lucky qualifier, who will then be pitted against the previous week’s King of the Felt in a heads-up match.

The winner of this battle royale will win $1,000 in free cash, plus the right to challenge the next week’s heir tot he throne. But who’s to say that the incumbent can’t stick around for a while? The longer the king defends their crown, the better their chance at receiving additional prizes. After a five week streak, the reward kicks up to $2,500. After another five, ten-week winners will earn a shot at earning a seat to the 2011 World Series of Poker.

As mentioned before, all a player must do is earn three cashes in qualifying sit and go tournaments. For each set of three that a user completes, another ticket will be thrown into the hat. Essentially, it’s a raffle, giving the winner of the most sit and go’s the highest statistical chance of winning a joust with the King.

There are even further incentives available to aspiring participants. By earning two tickets toward their King of the Felt bid, players will also receive entry into a $1,000 Freeroll tournament. Players with three or more tickets will earn this same $1K shot, plus an additional invite to a $500 freeroll.

Certain types of sit and go’s, however, will not count toward a player’s ticket totals. Heads up, Beginner, and Double Up Tournaments are each excluded from the running.

It’s almost time for the 2010 running of the WSOP and we at FlopTurnRiver are absolutely stoked!

So too, apparently, are the people at Bodog, who are now offering players three different ways to join them at the 2010 Main Event in Vegas. If you dream of seeing yourself on an episode of ESPN’s coverage, then this may be one of your best available avenues. Check out our breakdown of each of Bodog’s three routes.

Cheap: “It’s been done before…”

See Bodog’s tagline? Well, it’s certainly true, but you’ll have a long, uphill climb to reach the big dance. It all starts with a $1+$0 buy-in at one of their Cheap Seat tournaments. Seven of these events will be held each day, though only two of them will be of the $1 variety. There will also be a pair each of $5+$0.50 and $15+$1.50 tourneys, plus a $2+$0.20 match. Each of these boast a slightly different payout structure though. No matter how you slice it, you’ll still need to get through a Main Event Quarter and Semi Final before making it into the Main Event Satellite. Impossible? Certainly not. And by the time you reach Vegas, just think about all of the practice you’ll have had.

Mid-Range: “Shorten your path”

This is, by far, where most of the eventual qualifiers will probably hail from. Not necessarily because of any difference in skill level, but just because of the overwhelming number of tournaments scheduled for this bracket. Besides their four daily events, Bodog has scheduled a total of 66 different Mid-Range events. Buy-ins range from $10+$1 to $100+10, and will come up at various times throughout the day. If you’re willing to invest the extra cash for a Mid-Range buy-in, you’ll probably have a much better chance of reaching the Main Event Satellite.

Fast: “Buy directly in”

It really doesn’t get more straightforward than this. Bodog is offering players 10 chances to buy directly into a Main Event Satellite, each of which will cost you $470+$30. The amount of guaranteed seats vary from 2 to 4 to 10, so be sure to pay attention to which tables you’re bellying up to.

Got all that? While it may not be as flashy as some of the other WSOP promotions, this is still a great way to get to Vegas. In fact, because of its simplicity, this may be one of the best. So, if you’ve got an itch to compete in the big game, head over to our Bodog Download page. See you at the tables!

Bodog Poker is offering players a chance to sit in on the action at Montreal’s Four Aces Poker Pro Canada Classic. The live event cranks up staring April 15, with players vying for an expected prize pool of $500,000.

All told, Bodog is handing out ten seats to the Canada Classic. Each winner will receive a $2,400 prize package, including their $1,500+$150 (CAD) buy-in, with the rest distributed as spending cash!

Entry avenues range from the $215 toll (for the Satellite) all the way down to a simple $1 qualifier. Players can also buy into a satellite with 1650 of their hard-earned player points. According to Bodog, two seats are guaranteed per tournament.

For a complete list of Satellite Events, see the table below.

As you can see, two of the dates have already flown by. But there are still three chances left! Below is a another table detailing the March 15^th shindig and the possible entry methods to the day’s main event (in bold).

For details on the other events, visit the Bodog website.

Bodog will also be offering daily qualifiers to the above events. According to their website, “These will be 10 handed Sit and Go tournaments with a buy-in of $43 + $4 awarding 2 seats to 1st and 2nd place winners.”

Four Aces is in one of Canada’s premier poker rooms. They offer a comfortable, smoke-free environment with available table-side dining. Meals are served courtesy of their award-winning chef and the Carte Blanche restaurant.

We need to take a look at last week’s weekly leaderboard winners first. Here were the winners when it was all over:

1. quietwinner – 1899 pts
2. willedtowin – 1897 pts
3. grewsum2sum – 1672 pts

For his efforts, quietwinner won the chance to play a Bodog pro heads-up for $1,000. It came down to the last day in this particular race. Although willedtowin held the top spot for half the week, he lost 1st place on the very last day to quietwinner. And quietwinner was anything but quiet on the last day when he took over 1st place – he stormed all the way from 18th to 1st in one day! That is truly a dramatic way to end the weekly leaderboard race. Grewsum2sum was in 2nd place when I wrote last week and he finished in 3rd to round out the top 10.

As for the week that’s happening now, here is the current top 10:

1. HerbTokyo – 1365 pts
2. willedtowin – 1262 pts
3. Troy111 – 1250 pts
4. bigtone52 – 1193 pts
5. ardie – 1140 pts
6. L Rocketz – 1135 pts
7. ParliGod – 1055 pts
8. manderbutt – 970 pts
9. papastacks – 938 pts
10. DARKHELMET13 – 929 pts

It looks like 2nd place wasn’t good enough for willedtowin last week, so he’s back to challenge for 1st place again. HerbTokyo, a player I am unfamiliar with, will try to hold willedtowin off. Troy111, an excellent player who finished 2nd for the September leaderboard race is currently in 3rd place to round out the top 3. There are a couple of other familiar names in that list including ParliGod and manderbutt. ParliGod, who won a weekly race back in July, is one of the most consistent tournament players on Bodog and is almost always found in the top 10 of these leaderboards. In fact, he is in the top 0.34% of all Bodog leaderboard players, which is undeniably impressive. This stat even beats that of Panicked, who currently sits in the top 0.82% of all leaderboard players. As for manderbutt, he hasn’t won a weekly leaderboard on my watch yet, but he did place second on the August leaderboard of this year. Oh and yes, I couldn’t help but bring up Panicked. If you’re wondering where he is on these leaderboards now, he currently sits 36th for the week and 32nd for the month.

Here is my seamless transition to the monthly standings:

1. willedtowin – 4115 pts
2. whatever877 – 3770 pts
3. quietwinner – 3767 pts
4. Troy111 – 3548 pts
5. shawncarter – 3290 pts
6. WillyNilly – 3269 pts
7. andyvanslyke – 3258 pts
8. Swany420 – 3164 pts
9. allornothing112 – 3162 pts
10. grewsum2sum – 3142 pts

It makes perfect sense that after almost two weeks of great results on the weekly leaderboards, willedtowin is still leading when it comes to the monthly leaderboard after increasing his point total by almost 600. Whatever877 also kept his spot in the standings, increasing his point total by 446 from last week. Quietwinner’s victory on the weekly leaderboard helped him a lot for the October leaderboard and he was able to move up 20 spots from last week to sit in 3rd place this week. Pretty much all of the other names in the top 10 are names we’ve all seen before in previous months. A little over a week remains in this race, so there is still time for some of the talented players a little lower in the standings to step it up and make a run for the top spot.

First off, here were the top three of the weekly leaderboard from last week:

1. boondock11 – 1811 pts
2. shawncarter – 1595 pts
3. WillyNilly – 1563 pts

Although he lost the lead the day after I wrote about this leaderboard last Friday, boondock11 was able to regain the top spot and finish the week in 1st place. His prize was the chance to play a Bodog pro heads-up for $1,000. shawncarter kept his 2nd place spot for the rest of the week and finished 216 points behind boondock11, and WillyNilly moved up 6 spots from last week to finish in 3rd and round out the top 3 for the week.

Let’s move on to the current week. Here is the newest weekly leaderboard top ten:

1. willedtowin – 1690 pts
2. grewsum2sum – 1671 pts
3. thrtyftj – 1190 pts
4. RICHA63 – 1167 pts
5. papastacks – 1142 pts
6. andyvanslyke – 1074 pts
7. quietwinner – 1038 pts
8. Dannenmann – 1012 pts
9. scunyun – 990 pts
10. UFgator83 – 954 pts

willedtowin has a small lead over grewsum2sum and is currently in 1st place. I haven’t seen much of willedtowin on the top ten of these leaderboards, but I can tell you that he sits in the top 17% percent of all Bodog leaderboard players. He has been in the top ten for the week for 10 days out of the past month. grewsum2sum has yet to win a leaderboard on my watch, but he has showed up in the top ten a lot more the last few weeks. thrtyftj, the 3rd place player, has not been in the top ten of these standings very often and I have no idea who he is. He is almost 500 points behind grewsum2sum, so it is highly doubtful that he will crack the top 2 in these standings. He will have to work hard to keep 3rd place, too – less than 250 points separates him and 10th place!

As I said earlier, the monthly leaderboard is over halfway in, so the standings are becoming very interesting! Here is the current top ten:

1. willedtowin – 3542 pts
2. whatever877 – 3324 pts
3. Swany420 – 3164 pts
4. grewsum2sum – 3125 pts
5. Troy111 – 3091 pts
6. andyvanslyke – 2851 pts
7. papastacks – 2835 pts
8. WillyNilly – 2809 pts
9. RICHA63 – 2781 pts
10. CK3 – 2765 pts

willedtowin’s great past week has obviously done him very well – he is up 11 spots from last week’s 12th to 1st this week. whatever877 increased his point total by almost 1,000 and kept his 2nd place spot, and Swany420 moved down a couple spots from 1st to 3rd place. grewsum2sum had an awesome past week (also shown by this week’s weekly standings), moving up a whopping 48 points from 52nd last week to 4th this week! Troy111 made a slight move up from 6th to 5th. andyvanslyke, a good player who won a weekly leaderboard back in April this year, makes a reappearance on these leaderboards, cracking the top ten this time in 6th place. Then we have papastacks, WillyNilly, RICHA63, and CK3 to round out the top ten. WillyNilly and CK3 are both awesome tournament players and they have more than enough potential to climb to the top of these standings before the month is over.

As always, though, we need to look at the weekly leaderboard from last week first. Here were the top three when the week was over:

1. UFPokerStar – 1863 pts
2. zubs1aa – 1735 pts
3. whatever877 – 1681 pts

Congratulations to UFPokerStar for winning the chance to play a Bodog pro heads-up for $1,000. UFPokerStar hasn’t won a leaderboard since I started covering Bodog in April, but he has been in the top 10 several times and is a very good tournament player. In fact, he sits in the top 4% of players on the Bodog leaderboard, which is highly impressive. His win this week on the leaderboard was impressive, as well – he took 1st place on the second day of the week, and he kept it all the way until the end. zubs1aa, the player in 2nd place, is a fairly unfamiliar name to me. He made a massive climb on the weekly leaderboard since last Friday when I wrote – he wasn’t even in the top 100 for the week back then! whatever877 rounded out the top 3 for the week. I’m still waiting for whatever877 to win a leaderboard on my watch because I know he is a great player. He took 2nd place on the monthly leaderboard back in May, but he hasn’t done anything impressive since then. One last significant thing to note: Panicked is not in the top 3 for this week. He might have stopped playing near the end of the week because he isn’t even in the top 100 for the new week (I jumped ahead and looked already). Or perhaps he’s running bad and has had bad results recently.

Here are the new weekly standings:

1. boondock11 – 1293 pts
2. shawncarter – 1207 pts
3. Swany420 – 1169 pts
4. Troy111 – 1157 pts
5. L Rocketz – 1129 pts
6. CK3 – 1115 pts
7. willedtowin – 1103 pts
8. papastacks – 1084 pts
9. WillyNilly – 1034 pts
10. deadmoney627 – 1027 pts

There are more new names to me in this latest top 10 than usual. boondock11 is a good player on Bodog but he hasn’t been in the top 3 of many leaderboards since I started covering them, which is why he’s not overly familiar to me. The same can be said for shawncarter, who is in 2nd place right now. I’ve seen Swany420 around a lot on the Bodog leaderboard standings recently, and I’m waiting for him to win one of these weeks. He rounds out this week’s top 3. Let’s see if these players can hold their spots during the remaining few days of the week. As for players that could easily upset the top 3, Troy111, CK3, and WillyNilly all have proven track records on Bodog. Troy111 won second place on the September leaderboard just last month, and both CK3 and WillyNilly have won weekly leaderboards in the last few months.

Finally, let’s take a look at the October leaderboard. Here is the top 10 right now:

1. Swany420 – 2583 pts
2. whatever877 – 2458 pts
3. papastacks – 2366 pts
4. ParliGod – 2146 pts
5. UFPokerStar – 2122 pts
6. Troy111 – 2093 pts
7. Pdiddy100 – 1990 pts
8. SeeinFlops420 – 1984 pts
9. L Rocketz – 1903 pts
10. shawncarter – 1865 pts

Swany420′s good past week has done him well on the monthly leaderboard, too. He sits in 1st place right now, up an impressive 57 spots from last week’s 58th. whatever877, who I talked about during my weekly analysis, is in 2nd place. papastacks, a player I am unfamiliar with, rounds out the top 3. ParliGod, who was in 1st place on this leaderboard last Friday, slipped down to 4th place, and UFPokerStar, the winner of last week’s leaderboard, is in 5th place right now. A couple other players that I’ve already talked about, Troy111 and shawncarter, are also in the top 10 for this week. SeeinFlops420 and L Rocketz are in 8th and 9th place respectively.

13. vinnyb9 – 3286 pts
14. cusee – 3261 pts
15. iNcOgNiTo888 – 3259 pts
16. crappy player – 3250 pts

20. The Destroyer – 3133 pts

23. michaeleahci – 3047 pts
24. ben1233 – 3006 pts
25. The Nation07 – 2931 pts
26. TimLayer – 2901 pts
27. hebs – 2890 pts
28. UFgator83 – 2778 pts
29. simsima – 2757 pts
30. BuschInCans – 2730 pts

Huge congratulations to Panicked who, as predicted, won the September leaderboard without any trouble with over 5400 points. He came in 3rd for August during last month’s leaderboard race, so this is the 2nd consecutive month he’s placed in the top 3. He absolutely dominated the leaderboards in the month of September. He took 1st place for the month way back on September 6th, and he did not relenquish his hold on the top spot for the rest of the month. He is by far the most dominant player on these leaderboards since alienface, and it will be interesting to see if he returns in full force to defend his crown for October. Congratulations to the rest of the top 30 players, for they all won prizes, too. Troy111 and The Maven, 2nd and 3rd place respectively, both increased their point totals since last week and both kept their top 3 spots. To see a full list of prizes for the monthly leaderboard on Bodog, please click here.

Now let’s take a look at how last week’s weekly leaderboard shaped up. Here were the top 10 when it was over:

1. Killa_Tyven – 1989 pts
2. Panicked – 1888 pts
3. The Nation07 – 1589 pts

Killa_Tyven managed to keep Panicked off his tail at the end of the week and hold 1st place, finishing with 1989 points. Panicked kept his 2nd place spot and finished in the top 3 of the weekly leaderboard for his fourth consecutive week. The Nation07 moved up two spots from last week and finished in 3rd place, kicking ParliGod out of the top 3 (who finished in 4th place).

Here are some new weekly standings:

1. UFPokerStar – 1611 pts
2. ParliGod – 1391 pts
3. Panicked – 1105 pts
4. MOGREEN54 – 1089 pts
5. daisyxoxo – 1064 pts
6. Swany420 – 1045 pts
7. papastacks – 977 pts
8. 011jp – 972 pts
9. I_BET100K – 929 pts
10. Ramux – 924 pts

UFPokerStar, currently in 1st place for the week with 1611 points, is a good player who hasn’t been at the top of the Bodog leaderboard standings in a while. Perhaps he’s making a comeback and will find a way to keep ParliGod and Panicked, 2nd and 3rd place respectively, off his back. A 200 point lead is fairly decent, but he will have to play another couple days of good tournament poker to win it for the week. We will see if Panicked can keep his top 3 spot for a 5th consecutive week.

And finally, here are the new month’s current standings:

1. ParliGod – 1010 pts
2. I_BET100K – 900 pts
3. daisyxoxo – 822 pts
4. UFPokerStar – 798 pts
5. Panicked  -745 pts
6. m i z – 698 pts
7. whatever877 – 667 pts
8. shawncarter – 657 pts
9. papastacks – 652 pts
10. Ramux – 647 pts

The October standings are a mere 2 to 3 days old, so I won’t spend any time analyzing them. We will see how they change next Friday.

As always, let’s take a peek at the winners of the weekly leaderboard from last week. Here were the top 3 when it was all said and done:

1. WillyNilly – 1953 pts
2. L Rocketz – 1640 pts
3. Panicked – 1636 pts

Congratulations to WillyNilly for taking 1st place and winning the chance to play a Bodog pro heads-up for $1,000. I’m actually very pleased to see WillyNilly win because while he’s appeared in the top 10 on the leaderboards several times, he has not won one since I’ve been covering Bodog. He was in 3rd place when I wrote last Friday with a few days left to go in the week. The day after I wrote my article, he took the lead away from TheMicrowave, and he kept it until the weekly race was over. TheMicrowave slipped down to 4th place for the week. L Rocketz moved up from last week’s 4th to finish in 2nd place, and Panicked ended up in 3rd. If you’ve been following my articles, you’ll know that Panicked had won the weekly leaderboard the previous two weeks, so that’s three consecutive weeks he’s been in the top 3 for the weekly leaderboard.

Now for some current weekly leaderboard standings:

1. Killa_Tyven – 1707 pts
2. Panicked – 1627 pts
3. ParliGod – 1449 pts
4. Swany420 – 1202 pts
5. The Nation07 – 1158 pts
6. BuschInCans – 1043 pts
7. TheMicrowave – 1032 pts
8. crappy player – 1003 pts
9. shawncarter – 983 pts
10. Nels316 – 964 pts

Killa_Tyven is in 1st place at the moment with 1707 points, but there’s Panicked at his heals with 1627 points. I know I must sound like a broken record, but wow Panicked has been on fire lately. He is absolutely dominating the Bodog leaderboards the last few weeks and it looks like he is on pace to placing in the weekly top 3 for the 4th week in a row. ParliGod, another really solid regular on these leaderboards, rounds out the top 3.

Let’s move on to the exciting stuff – here is the top 10 for the monthly leaderboard:

1. Panicked – 5269 pts
2. Troy111 – 4030 pts
3. The Maven – 3993 pts
4. WillyNilly – 3809 pts
5. Killa_Tyven – 3760 pts
6. whatever877 – 3691 pts
7. TheMicrowave – 3530 pts
8. ParliGod – 3443 pts
9. Swany420 – 3369 pts
10. iNcOgNiTo888 – 3227 pts

The problem is, how exciting can something be when you already know who’s going to win? Yes, I went ahead and said it: I don’t see how Panicked is going to lose. With a huge lead of over 1200 points, the players lower in the standings will have to have an unbelievable last week if they want any hope of catching him. That being said, there are some other great players in that top 10. Troy111, in 2nd place right now, is frequently near the top of these standings, as is WillyNilly and whatever877. It is likely that only the players currently sitting around 4000 points right now will have any chance of catching Panicked. Increasing your point total by almost 2000 with less than a week remaining would be an extremely difficult thing to do.

Well I can speculate all I want and make my predictions as to who will finish on top for September, but we won’t know anything for sure until the month is over. To see full results sans the guess work, be sure to come back next Friday to see the September results. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

First off, here were the winners of last week’s weekly leaderboard:

1. Panicked – 2340 pts
2. The Maven – 1708 pts
3. whatever877 – 1646 pts

Huge congratulations to Panicked, who has won the weekly leaderboard two weeks in a row. This is the first time anyone has done this since I started covering the Bodog leaderboards 5 months ago, and it is a very impressive accomplishment! He never let go of the top spot since I first reported he was in first place last Friday. 2nd place winner for the week, The Maven, moved up 8 spots since last week and increased his point total by over 800. whatever877 rounds out the top 3, up from last week’s 4th place.

Here are some new weekly standings:

1. TheMicrowave – 1489 pts
2. Panicked – 1366 pts
3. WillyNilly – 1346 pts
4. L Rocketz – 1179 pts
5. Pdiddy100 – 1078 pts
6. Canam71 – 1033 pts
7. ParliGod – 1004 pts
8. Troy111 – 985 pts
9. Swany420 – 941 pts

For a few consecutive weeks a while back, I was raving about alienface’s dominance on the Bodog leaderboards. He has since fallen off the face of the earth, and it looks like Panicked has replaced him. He’s back in the top 3 for the week again, this time in 2nd place but very close behind TheMicrowave. I predict that TheMicrowave will have to increase his point total by a lot in the remaining days this week to prevent Panicked from overtaking him. TheMicrowave has been doing well lately too, however. When I wrote last week, he was also in the top 3 (although he finished out of the top 3 when the week was over).

Time for some monthly leaderboard standings! Here’s what they look like for September right now:

1. Panicked – 4831 pts
2. Troy111 – 3580 pts
3. The Maven – 3549 pts

It’s not surprising to see Panicked on top right now, given his great success on the weekly boards so far this month. He has a very healthy lead, too – second place Troy111 is over 1200 points behind him. Panicked has just been on fire this month and I find it hard not to predict that he will end up the winner for September when it’s all said and done. There are some good players in the top 10, however, and if someone has a great final week and a half, it’s within their reach to take it away from Panicked. Troy111 has appeared in the leaderboards quite often since I started writing these articles, but he has never won a weekly or a monthly leaderboard. WillyNilly is a familiar name, although he hasn’t done much in the past month. And whatever877 has been in the top 10 quite often in the last 30 days – 23 of the last 30 days to be exact. It should be an interesting race down to the finish, so be sure to come back next week to see how the standings shift!

These were the winners for last week’s weekly leaderboard:

1. Panicked – 3165 pts
2. iNcOgNiTo888 – 2681 pts
3. Troy111 – 2454 pts

Congratulations to Panicked, who won the chance to play a Bodog pro heads-up for $1,000. When I wrote last Friday, he was in 3rd place with 3 more days to go. iNcOgNiTo888, who ended up finishing 2nd, kept the top spot for one more day, but then Panicked stole it away and kept 1st place for the last two days of the week. Panicked also won the weekly leaderboard a few months ago back in May. Troy111, another very good tournament player on Bodog, finished in 3rd place. Troy111 has been in the top 10 for the week for 21 days out of the past 30, and he was in 1st place for the new monthly leaderboard when I wrote last Friday.

Here is the top ten for the current week’s leaderboard:

1. Panicked – 1585 pts
2. Pdiddy100 – 1420 pts
3. TheMicrowave – 1409 pts
4. whatever877 – 1381 pts
5. Swany420 – 1304 pts
6. Troy111 – 1220 pts
7. gotzballz – 1100 pts
8. Killa_Tyven – 917 pts
9. maddawg025 – 909 pts
10. The Maven – 904 pts

There are several familiar names in the list above, most notably that of Panicked. We just saw that he won last week’s leaderboard, so it is very exciting that he is currently on top for this week, too! As I mentioned last Friday, I have never seen a player win the weekly leaderboard two weeks in a row, and it will be interesting to see if Panicked can pull it off. His lead over both 2nd and 3rd place is very small, however, so he still has plenty of work to do.

Here is the current top ten for the month of September:

1. Panicked – 3821 pts
2. Troy111 – 3275 pts
3. iNcOgNiTo888 – 2933 pts
4. whatever877 – 2886 pts
5. vinnyb9 – 2639 pts
6. Swany420 – 2620 pts
7. The Maven – 2559 pts
8. michaeleahci – 2375 pts
9. RezinLife – 2371 pts
10. Pdiddy100 – 2346 pts

There’s Panicked again in 1st place, moving up from 3rd last week. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the same player in the top spot for all three of my reported standings! Panicked obviously had a very good past week of tournaments on Bodog. Troy111, 6th on this week’s weekly leaderboard so far, is in 2nd for the month right now. Despite increasing his monthly point total significantly since last Friday, he dropped one spot from 1st place. iNcOgNiTo888 was in 2nd place last week and is now in 3rd.
