HEADLINE: Bodog's 12 Days of Poker Gets Underway

Body:
Bodog Poker kicked off its first ever “12 Days of Poker” promotion Sunday afternoon with its first four events. The 45 tournament series runs through January 1st and will see Bodog add over $100,000 to the prize pools of the scheduled tournaments.

“Justin58″ prevailed in Event #1, a $100 deep stack tournament with $3,000 added. He found $4,680 in his account following the win, while runner-up “allornothing112″ earned $3,120. “FLUSH634″ took down Event #2 (another $100 buy-in tournament) for $17,375, defeating “Nate Avenson” heads-up. “Chessmaster88″ was victorious in Event #3 ($11 buy-in) for $2,046 and “bigtone52″ received $1,265 for his conquest in Event #4 ($22 buy-in).

In addition to the added prize money, Bodog is awarding Bodog Poker Open 3 (BPO 3) packages to three qualifying players that place in the top 100 of the 12 Days of Poker Tournament Leader Board. The site will track every result from all 45 events and the top 100 will freeroll for their chance at a package. The top four on the leader board automatically qualify for the 27 person Grand Finale on January 15, while the remaining players will play a semifinal on January 8. The top 18 will advance to the Grand Finale.

Bodog will also hold a random drawing from players who participated in at least five “12 Days of Poker” events. Five lucky “wild cards” will be chosen to compete in the Grand Finale Tournament for their shot at a BPO 3 package.
