Bodog poker has not been seeing very good turnouts for their tournaments especially Sunday ones. This past Sunday’s $100,000 guarantee had a very low turnout, so much so that Bodog had to cough up $21,900 extra just to cover the difference to create the guaranteed prize pool.

Only 781 players signed up for the event created the shortage in the prize pool. Play was short and sweet with the lower number of players competing. An experienced player, 350zoom, who had made the final table before, was up against ETHANSCHASING in heads-up play. 350zoom used his experience and took all of his opponent’s chips and the $25,000 win.

The Final Table Results:

350zoom— $25,000
ETHANSCHASING — $14,300
makeutap247 — $9,200
king silas — $6,900
glH6s — $5,500
charlie h222 — $4,500
OGHowie— $3,500

UltimateBet $200,000 Guarantee (02/25/2008)

A new trend is apparently starting on Sundays where attendance is down for guaranteed poker tournaments. Are players taking a break from the strenuous schedules they had faced previously with such tournaments as the FTOPS VII or are they simply not showing up? This past Sunday, UltimateBet had their regular $200,000 guarantee and had only 946 player’s sign up. This number is down from the great numbers the poker site saw in January.

In January, UltimateBet never saw an overlay, and produced record numbers. Now in February, they had to put up over $10,000 to meet the $200,000 guarantee for the tournament. The final two competing for the prize were geirto and Marius “Hulk25” Grotan. Grotan’s “Hulk” status wouldn’t be enough to save him as geirto would take the win.

The Final Results:

geirto— $45,000
Marius “Hulk25” Grotan— $26,500
mr_money57 — $18,000
Jeff “caaashier” Cates— $13,100
ddickel— $10,500
davedopeman — $8,500
Travis Klein— $6,500
judithj — $4,500
BudmansCom — $3,500
Tim West— $2,000
