Low turnout means big win for UltimateBet, Bodog.com players

By Sarah Polson

The Super Bowl was the big news on Sunday with many sports fans turning from their computers to watch the game rather than play in the large guaranteed tournaments. That was good news for the winner of the UltimateBet and Bodog.com guaranteed events on Sunday who had a much smaller playing field to work their way through.

At UltimateBet, 729 players signed up for the $200,000 guaranteed tournament. That left the poker site having to cover a large chunk of the prize pool to meet the guaranteed amount.

RandALLin was probably more than happy to scoop up his share of that when he came out on top. For first place, he earned $46,000.

The final table results were as follows:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	RandALLin	$46,000
2nd	stallion pt3	$28,000
3rd	no1TK	$18,500
4th	PoppyG46	$13,000
5th	MHBSchwab2	$11,000
6th	sonofred	$9,000
7th	pdawg86	$7,000
8th	gocavs1	$5,000
9th	Kona21	$3,500
10th	a_thekevlar_2	$2,000

Bodog.com went back to their usual $100,000 guaranteed tournament this Sunday after having beefed it up to $200,000 last week. Despite the drop, 747 players still came out to play.

In the end it was Roshambro who took home the $25,000 top prize.

The final table results were as follows:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	Roshambro	$25,000
2nd	kingkai	$14,300
3rd	HaNkYDahANky	$9,200
4th	pinnie	$6,900
5th	LokTakWah	$5,500
6th	PlayNBarredUp	$4,500
7th	watash20	$3,500
8th	Brady Hawks	$2,500
9th	PokerJones	$1,600
