Easter Weekend Affects Bodog Poker Guaranteed Tournament

March 26 - Easter Sunday is usually a slow day in the online gambling industry, with a record number of Christian players opting to take themselves to Church instead of wagering online as they regularly do over weekends. This snail-pace traffic was felt at online casinos and poker rooms all over the internet, and Bodog Poker can testify for record lows through the number of participants that signed up for its regular Sunday $100,000 Guaranteed tournament.

This online poker room is still reeling from the disappointing numbers that registered for the site's biggest single tournament ever held, the Bodog Poker Open which attracted only 596 players who paid $470 and $30 to enter on March 9th.

And so it was slightly disappointing when the poker room once again reported low numbers with a $40,000 overlay in last weekend's $100,000 Guaranteed event.

Only 603 players registered for the event, generating a $39,200 overlay - $100 less than the combined value of first and second place in the Guaranteed tournament. Those who had given up their regular Easter activities for a chance to win big at online poker rooms were not disappointed with the attractive playing field and massive overlay.

MONSTER_DONG went home happily with an easy win over his competitors and $25,000 worth of prize money in his back pocket. The second place win went to RonnDough who took home $14,300 in the event.

The final table results from last to first place were as follows: RoboDunk (9th), TheBrush5 (8th), garage13 (7th), EddieOB (6th), WaThoHuck (5th), WowImBad (4th), croth8 (3rd), RonnDough (2nd) and MONSTER_DONG (1st)
