In those tournaments, players can qualify for the Big Final, held Jan. 8, 2012 at 18:00 GMT (1400 EDT), where over $10,000 will be up for grabs.
There will be two tournaments held each week, throughout the 12 weeks of the promotion. The tournaments include a $3.00 + $0.50 ($50 USD added) buy-in every Tuesday, with the first kicking off on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011.
