Bodog's Matt McCullough Has Fun Making Serious Dough
Team Bodog Poker player Matt McCullough may not have walked away from the final table at the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) with millions in his pockets or a gold bracelet around his wrist, but third place and $760,000 in prize money is still pretty sweet. (Plus, taking out pros Phil Hellmuth and Gus Hansen was also kind of cool.)
McCullough qualified for the WSOPE through an online satellite tournament at Bodog and in addition to having his buy-in for the Main Event covered, the popular online poker room also covered his round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, a custom made suit, car service and spending money. When asked if he plans on competing in North America's WSOP next year, McCullough told Bodog Nation reporters: "I'm definitely going to the World Series of Poker next year. Me and Matt Larsh had a side wager going where if either of us made it into the top three, we would buy the other into the World Series of Poker Main Event next year."
You can qualify for any upcoming live poker tournament through one of Bodog's many Player's Choice qualifiers. The WPT event in Spain is just around the corner!
