Each week, the Bodoglife.com poker player who finishes first on the weekly Tournament Leader Board is given a chance to play heads-up poker against one of the two pros for $ 1,000. If one of the pros wins, the money is rolled over. With the pros winning the last nine weeks, the stakes are higher than ever with a prize pool of $ 10,000.

Bodoglife.com’s Tournament Leader Board ranking system allows players to gauge their play against thousands of others. The Leader Board is based on a system that distributes points for top finishers in the numerous tournaments offered each week at Bodoglife.com. The criteria used to determine how many points each player is accorded includes: the number of players in the tournament, the buy-in level, and the individual player’s final rank. Those players who finish in the top 20 percent of each tournament are awarded points.
