Planet Hollywood and Bodog to hold poker audition for shot at reality TV's largest prize ever
Bodog announces open casting call for the "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker II" starting July 5 - 8, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas
With thousands of poker players from around the world in Las Vegas this July for the World Series of Poker, Bodog Entertainment will be in town looking to increase a few players' odds of becoming poker's next superstar and millionaire.
Open casting calls in Las Vegas this July 5 - 8, searching for contestants for "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker II," a new poker reality TV program where 12 amateur poker players compete for a $2-million prize package -- the largest grand prize in reality TV history.
Bodog will hold all four days of auditions at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, in the "Sapphire 2" room, between noon and 5 p.m. each day. Those interested in auditioning must be at least 21 years of old and bring a photo ID. Poker players of varying skills levels, from beginner to advanced, are welcome to audition.
Season one of "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker" set ratings high in its time slot last year with Hollywood celebrities, big name poker pros, and amateur hopefuls battling it out for $500,000. Season two is raising the stakes much higher, with four-times more money on the line and without the pros and celebrities competing.
The 12-person cast chosen for this years show will be whisked away to an exotic locale, where they will live together in a mansion and compete against one another in a number of poker infused lifestyle challenges both at and away from the poker table. In the end, only one of the lucky 12 contestants will be crowned champion of "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker II" and awarded the reality TV record-breaking $2 million grand prize -- $1 million in cash and a $1 million Bodog contract that includes buy-ins and travel to poker's biggest tournaments for a year after the show.
Filming for "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker II" begins fall of 2007 and will air later this year nationally, globally, and on BodogTV.
