Taking its cue from the success of Bodog&#39;s Battle of the Bands submission<br>process that saw over 7,000 competitors enter, Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker<br>will feature a user-generated content aspect in casting its second season.<br>For a chance to become one of 11 players in the 12-person cast of Calvin<br>Ayre Wild Card Poker II, in line to win a record-setting $2 million, reality<br>TV hopefuls can go to bodog.com/poker/wild-card-poker/season-02/ to upload<br>an audition video. All videos will be screened by Bodog.com and the 11<br>winners will be privately contacted. The cut-off date for video submissions<br>is April 28, so players should get their videos in quick to be on the path<br>to living the life of a millionaire! Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker, which set<br>ratings highs in its time slot last year, was full of action and saw poker<br>pro Josh Arieh walk away with the $500,000 grand prize. Though still in<br>development, Season II is quickly shaping up to be bigger and better. With a<br>shot at poker superstardom and the largest prize in reality TV history - $2<br>million - up for grabs, the second season of the hit series is guaranteed to<br>draw wide audiences. &quot;Season II leaves behind the classic reality TV show<br>format in favor of a much more modern and exciting approach,&quot; said Calvin<br>Ayre, the show&#39;s host and founder of Bodog.com. &quot;Bodog is one of the most<br>respected brands in the digital entertainment industry and is known for its<br>innovation and creativity and we have set out to take the industry to a<br>whole new level. Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker Season II will be the first and<br>only show of its kind to reward today&#39;s social networkers with the chance to<br>earn spots on the show and walk away with a cool $2 million grand prize.&quot;<br>For those less inclined to audition on video, poker players can join in on<br>one or more of the 30 qualifying poker tournaments on Bodog.com. Qualifying<br>tournaments run every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 9:05 EST and have an<br>entry fee of $5 + 0.50, or 300 Bodog Poker points. The top five of each<br>qualifying tournament will go on to battle it out in the final tournament on<br>April 28. The top five of the final tournament will score big, but only the<br>winner will get to fill one of the coveted 12 spots as a contestant on<br>Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker II, effectively earning a 1-in-12 shot at the $2<br>million grand prize and poker superstardom.
