Bet365’s Sunday Special Still Not Meeting New Guarantee

After recently raising the guaranteed prize-pool of their main weekly tournament, The Sunday Special, Bet365 and the iPoker Network have been unable to meet the lofty guarantee (which was raised from $150k to $200k) offering a nice overlay for players in the tournament.

Make no mistake about it, the attendance for the tournament has grown, eclipsing 900 players the past two weeks (this week’s tournament saw 927 players register), which shows the potential to hit the $200k guaranteed prize-pool is there, but for now, Bet365 and iPoker will have to eat about $15,000 every week until they can surpass 1,000 players.

This past week the tournament was won by a player using the screen-name “Youhavefun” who walked away with $34,520 for the victory.

Here is a look at the complete final table payouts from the tournament from PlayerScope.com:

  1. Youhavefun — $34,520.00

  2. Gerystark — $25,000.00

  3. Pppaparazi — $19,000.00

  4. mjc1000 — $13,920.00

  5. Xpl4Yn87 — $9,900.00

  6. xxKamikaze94xx — $7,900.00

  7. needsheet — $5,900.00

  8. Riskymurphy — $3,900.00

  9. ShaggyDD — $2,200.00

  10. Ggtry — $1,780.00

Did You Know…

… Bet365’s Poker School has an in-depth article on poker etiquette?

In the Bet365 Poker School you’ll find a number of guides detailing strategies for the different poker variants available on the site, as well as articles like this one on Poker Etiquette: http://poker.bet365.com/extra/en/poker-guides/poker-school/poker-etiquette/

Etiquette is extremely important in poker, where players are the first line of defense against cheaters and angle-shooters. Exercising proper etiquette will not only win you friends at the poker tables but it can also help you avoid situations where another player is trying to shoot an angle on you.

While the article’s focus is on live poker etiquette, it’s important for these rules (written and unwritten) to be learned early on, and some are transferable to the online game.

Here is a quick look at the topics covered in the article:

  • Good Manners

  • Quiet Please

  • One Player per Hand

  • Don’t Criticise

  • Be a Good Winner and a Gracious Loser

  • Hurry Up
