Bodog Poker is offering its players the chance to play in the Scandinavian Open in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Qualifiers have already started at Bodog Poker, and players can win a seat at the European Poker Tour event for as little as $1.

Four main satellites will be held, and the winner of each one will receive a $10,000 EPT package, and $2,000 for travel and accommodation.

"Poker is a lifestyle, and this is another chance for Bodog's European players to get a real taste of the highlife," said Calvin Ayre, founder of Bodog Entertainment.

"We'll be taking Bodog players to Europe's oldest kingdom to compete with the elite of European poker, and we're confident that they'll match the success of our previous buy-in winners."

The 2008 Scandinavian Open will be played Feb. 19-23 at Casino Copenhagen.

This year, 400 players entered the event. Swedish Bodog Poker pro Magnus Petersson took the top spot, along with $706,504 in prize money.
