Sunday Majors 4/17: What a Difference a Week Makes
written by: Jennifer under Poker Comments: Comments Off
A strange Sunday, it was. Without U.S. players, the major poker sites knew they wouldn’t meet their usual guarantees and lowered them to be in sync with the assumed new poker populous. That created some interesting fields, less impressive numbers than have been seen in years, and a list of winners that excluded American players.
We’re keeping the same list for this week with the exception of the $750K Guarantee on Full Tilt Poker (which seemed to have been removed in lieu of FTOPS Event 1), to show how dramatically the numbers dropped, and we’ll reassess this list as the “majors” going forward.
