One more week of 2008 is in the books which means that one more online poker player had the chance to take on a Bodog poker pro in a heads-up match for a serious chunk of change as part of the ongoing Weekly TLB promotion.

This time around Bodog regular "illshiz" – the November 10 – 16 weekly TLB winner – took on Bodog poker pro Justin Bonomo for the grand prize of $5,000. After a back and forth match, "illshiz" was able to capture his first TLB Weekly victory and that nice payday. This brings Bonomo's record in TLB matches to 6 wins and 3 losses.

Weekly TLB winners get to play a heads-up match against one of the Bodog poker pros for at least $1,000. Each week a pro wins that money rolls over to the next week for the following weekly winner to take a shot at.

If you focus on the Weekly TLB competition you'll also be working your way up the Monthly TLB. So, what’s the big deal about topping the Monthly Leader Board? Well, the 12 Monthly TLB Winners in 2008 will all get to play in a two-table six-handed Sit-and-Go in early 2009 where the top two players win a $12,000 prize package to a major live event of their choice. If a player wins two or more months throughout the year, this player would win T$2000 for his 2nd win and the 2nd place finisher that month will be invited to play in the finale.

Check out Bodog’s Tournament Leader Board and make sure to get in on this last chance to get a seat in that coveted two-table freeroll.
