Sunday Majors 5/29: PokerStars Sunday Million with Surprising Overlay and 9-Way Deal
written by: Jennifer under Poker Comments: Comments Off
All was back to normal this week, according to what has become the norm for the Sunday majors after Black Friday. With the SCOOP series concluded on PokerStars, tournaments that were on hiatus – Warm-Up and Million – were back on the schedule, though many of the Stars weekly events had a tough time drawing their usually sizeable crowds. The Sunday Million, for example, had an overlay for the first time in, well, a long time.
Part of the lower numbers in many Sunday majors could be due to the fact that high stakes players are in route to Las Vegas, and they will not be allowed to play online poker within American borders. Whatever the reason, events like the Warm-Up and Bigger $55 on PokerStars and Sunday Brawl on Full Tilt saw a drop in numbers.
