Sunday tournament results and review from US-facing offshore online poker sites; including overlays, player totals, trends, and analysis.
Full tournament results of all US-facing online poker room Sunday majors on Bovada (the US-facing room on the Bodog Network), the Merge Gaming Network, the Winning Poker Network, the Juicy Stakes, Seals With Clubs (independent Bitcoin poker room), and the Equity Poker Network. A review from Sunday, July 20th, 2014 is detailed below.
After a short one week break, ProfRB.com is back with their Sunday US-facing Offshore Tournament Results and Review! MTT traffic for the most part was up handily across the board this past Sunday, as US players continue to return to the tournament tables after the Independence day holiday and as the summer season continues onward.
Pokerhost | Equity: Sunday traffic up 20.5%
Bovada | Bodog: Sunday traffic up 19.8%
ACR Poker | WPN: Sunday traffic up 5.7%
Carbon Poker | Merge: Sunday traffic up 1.5%
Intertops | Juicy Stakes: Sunday traffic up 1.4%
The signs are encouraging, particular for smaller-sized online poker rooms such as Pokerhost and Full Flush Poker on the Equity Network. Their 20% Sunday improvement over two weeks prior, when traffic was also up the same 20%, illustrates their growing operation and willingness to increase guarantees in the face of losses in revenue. Bovada's hearty player increase can be attributed to their Summer Million Poker Open, which is currently ongoing. Their $200,000 GTD Sunday tournament has breached its stated guarantee by over $83,000 combined in two offerings thus far (and one still to come next Sunday).
ACR Poker on the Winning Poker Network also announced earlier this week that they'll be running a $1,000,000 GTD event in December. We expect that to be quite an attraction for US players, and thus player traffic in tournaments and satellites leading up to that historic MTT should continue to rise in the coming months.
Highlighting results from the major Sunday tournaments (scroll down for full final table results below):
668 players entered Carbon Poker's $125,000 guaranteed Sunday Big Ticket MTT, soaring the prize pool to over $133,000. It was texasholdme3 earning the win, taking home a $26,933.76 score for first place. Second place went to lvcjarrett who earned $17,768.80 for his effort, and DeadElvis2u finished in third place to win $10,821.60.
ACR Poker held their $50,000 guaranteed Sunday tournament with 378 players taking part, which bumped the final pool to a solid $75,600 up for grabs. First place went to clavas, who earned $15,498 for his victory. 3offtheT took a Sunday off from the links to take the second spot, winning $9,639 (that's a lot of rounds of golf!). And yes, it was a player by the name of PumpkinTits who took third place to nab $6,804.
217 hopefuls took part in Pokerhost's $10,000 guaranteed rebuy/add-on event, which sported a small $780 overlay for a slice of added value. The winner was neinpoint, who won $2,300 for first place, while HamishMcB earned second place to take down the $1,500 prize. Dubl_ace_4 finished up in third place, adding $1,050 to his bankroll.
The $10,000 guaranteed Sunday event on Juicy Stakes and Intertops saw 90 players push the prize pool to just over $11,200, with crazyz123 claiming the win and the $3,093.76 first place money. CobaltBlueX, a regular at the Seals With Clubs Sunday Big BTC final table (as CobaltBlue), took second in this event to earn $2,081.25. Third place went to penguins3255, who secured $1,575 for his effort.
And finally, the aforementioned Seals With Clubs Big BTC 10,000-chip guaranteed tournament ran this past Sunday with 39 players in the field. Player chazley came out on top, winning 3,600 SWC chips for first place, with LeoProx taking second place to win 2,300 SWC chips. BigPanther69 finished in the third position, earning himself a tidy sum of 1,500 SWC chips.
