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.

Final table results were as follows:
