ONLINE POKER ENJOYS ANOTHER BIG MONEY WEEKEND
25 January 2008
Major online poker websites continue to attract
record numbers of tournament players
Last weekends big-name regular tournaments continued to
pack 'em in, with major action occurring across the
Internet on Sunday, and major companies like Full Tilt,
Poker Stars and Party Poker all passing pre-tournament
guarantees. And one player at Full Tilt's One Million
Dollar Guaranteed won a significant $206 000.
Poker Stars Sunday Million continued to dominate the
weekend tournament scene with a field of 7 520 entrants
which resulted in a prize-pool of $1.504 million -
sufficient to put 1 080 players in the money bubble and
present a winner's prize estimated at $212 000 if not
split by player agreement, which is what happened in a
three split at the conclusion.
Over at Full Tilt the regular $1 million Guaranteed
tourney had a higher buy-in at $500+35, but that didn't
deter poker players massing, with a starter field of 2
252 generating a prize-pool of $1 126 000 which made
possible a winner's purse of $206 564 and change, and a
cash list that extended to 351 players.
Party Poker's $300 000 Guaranteed pulled in 1 735
players, delivering a $347 600 prize-pool and a
potential first prize of $67 665, which in the event was
split by player agreement.
