Attendance drops, overlay increases for Sunday events

By: Erik Sylven

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.com.

There are, however, loyal players who show up to compete at Bodog.com Sunday after Sunday. One of them, capsocool, has had a very successful run the last couple of weeks, with a third-place finish in the event, netting him $9,000, and a first-place finish this week, where he picked up $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.

Player tutnik11 won the tournament and took home $45,000 in prize money.
