Easter Sunday Makes Online Poker Players Rich
This past Easter Sunday, thousands of players stood up the Easter dinner table to sit down instead at the poker table, gathering online for a whole different kind of feast. Multiple top online poker sites hosted big tournaments with big prizes and, as always happens at such events, some players celebrated later that night several thousand dollars richer.
The PokerStars Sunday Million saw 7,445 players logging in for their share of the pot, with a player named Tsipor taking the big prize of $147,561.00 away from chip leader Maluko0, who still walked away with an undisappointing second place win and $122,670.00 for his efforts.
Meanwhile, Sunday Bodog Poker following up its recent Bodog Poker Open with its weekly $100,000 Guaranteed tournament finals that attracted but a meager 603 players, but still managed to generate an impressive $39,000+ overlay. The winner, MONSTER_DONG was the big $25,000 winner, with RonnDough taking a sweet $14,300 second.
At Full Tilt Poker, 3,784 battled for the top prize of $133,991.44 in the Full Tilt Poker $750,000 Guaranteed Tournament, and nine hours after it started, a player going by CapTinBisKuiT claimed it for himself.
So, clearly, even though Easter Sunday typically sees a slowdown at the online poker rooms, that doesn’t make it any less of an opportunity for those everyday folks who do show up to win big.
