Attendance drops, overlay increases for Sunday events

The attendance keeps dropping, and the overlay keeps increasing for the big Sunday tournaments. This weekend, Bodog.com had to come up with $17,200 to match the posted $100,000 guarantee, and the overlay for UltimateBet's $200,000 guaranteed was $20,600.

Only 828 players entered Bodog's $100,000 guaranteed - the third lowest number this year. Other Sunday tournaments did not see equally severe dips in attendance, which has been the case on previous occasions with a notably small starting field at Bodog.

There are, however, loyal players who play at Bodog Sunday after Sunday. One of them is a called capsocool, and this player has been very successful in the last few weeks.

Last week, capsocool finished 3rd in the event winning $9,000, and this week capsocool won first place and $25,000 in prize money.

Final table results were as follows:

Place Name Prize
1st capsocool $25,000
2nd yunghizzles $14,000
3rd JoeBobSD $9,000
4th drexxel7 $6,500
5th tallynole $5,400
6th The__Whale $4,400
7th Hazee Jr $3,400
8th czarcaesarxx $2,400
9th thenoona $1,550

UltimateBet's $200,000 guaranteed continues to struggle with low attendance as well, with only 897 people playing in yesterday's tournament.
