Bodog's founder Calvin Ayre wants to make 12 poker players TV stars with his upcoming poker reality show
Calvin Ayre Wildcard Poker II. Those interested in starring in the show can submit an audition video, and hopefuls now have until June 3 to do so because of an extended deadline.
The previous deadline was May 6, meaning poker pro wannabes have almost an extra month to make and submit a one-minute video (10 megabytes maximum). The best audition videos will be posted on Bodog's Web site for the whole world to see.
Wild Card Poker II pits 12 contestants - 11 drawn from audition videos and one qualifying via online tournaments (which have ceased running since the initial May 6 deadline) - against each other in an effort to snag the $2 million grand prize. Those lucky enough to qualify for the show will spend a month in British Columbia, Canada, this summer and complete against each other in poker-related challenges.
The show is slated to air on a major network channel in Fall, 2007.
To submit a video, players need to have a Bodog account, create a one-minute video, and earn 300 player points at Bodog (through either cash games or tournament play, although cash-game play is the fastest route). The best videos will be selected to be placed on Bodog's Web site, and the producers of the show will select the final contestants.
