Betfair Poker is offering a $20,000 sponsorship deal to the best tournament player during December in its Twelve Plays of Christmas campaign.
The poker player who performs best in the site’s daily $15,000 and $10,000 guaranteed tournaments will be bestowed with bragging rights as a Betfair-sponsored poker pro, becoming eligible for live events up to the value of $20,000.



The winner will join Betfair Poker's elite stable of pros which includes Ben Grundy, Swedish sensation Bengt Sonnert and STT supremo Thomas 'Buzzer' Bhil.



'We are thinking of calling the winner 'Poker God' because only the best and most consistent performer will win,” said head of poker Ben Fried. “One-off lucky winners will not get a look in.'



Other Twelve Plays of Christmas events include team games, bounty tournaments and the 'Snowball' – a $50,000 plus freeroll tournament which started rolling on December 1 2006 and takes place on January 7 2007.



In all, $240,000 of prizes will be won by lucky Betfair Poker customers during the festive month.
