Low turnout for big Sunday tournaments

By Erik Sylven

Bodog.com and UltimateBet's Sunday guaranteed tournaments drew relatively small crowds this weekend, with about a hundred players less than last week's popular Sunday events.

Eight-hundred and fifty-eight players competed for the $45,000 first prize in UltimateBet's $200,000 Guaranteed, as compared to last week, when 924 players participated in the tournament.

highroller48 won first place after heads-up play against aakkjj. In the final hand, the two were all-in pre-flop with highroller48 holding A-K, and aakkjj holding A-J. highroller48 made a pair of kings on the river to seal the deal.

Final table results were as follows:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	highroller48	$45,000
2nd	aakkjj	$27,000
3rd	Yankees31	$18,500
4th	Ivor Biggun	$13,000
5th	gboro780	$11,000
6th	KTQ	$9,000
7th	YRWTHMELTHR	$7,000
8th	A_9_A_8	$5,000
9th	DrHam	$3,500
10th	Big Gator	$2,000

Bodog.com's $100,000 Guaranteed also saw a drop in entrants with only 918 players. Last weekend, the number of entrants was 954. Still, this week's winner, gbmantins, had to outlast a field of 917 opponents to win the $25,000 first prize.

Final table results from the $100,000 guaranteed:
