The US holiday of Thanksgiving is over and as people were recovering from loads of baked turkey and cranberry sauce on Sunday, the Bodog Poker $100,000 Guaranteed tournament was unfolding. Seven hundred and twenty nine players managed to stay awake long enough to play in the tournament and try and win a piece of the large guarantee.

Many players earned their way into the guaranteed tournament by participating in Bodog’s Thanksgiving Special $100,000 qualifier. The online player to take the top prize at the tournament was Balla686, who has done quite well at Bodog.

Balla686 has been playing online at Bodog for around two years and has won over $100,000 playing in Bodog’s Poker Room. If Balla686 continues to play well he could be the next player to sign with a poker room, as we all know, those who do well online and get noticed tend to move on to become top online poker pros.
