Sunday Majors 4/24: A New State of Reduced Guarantee Affairs
written by: Jennifer under Poker Comments: Comments Off
It was the second Sunday in a row with reduced guarantees and no United States players. For many poker fans and players, it was also another difficult day to know that they – and some of their favorite players – would not be at the tables.
As for our coverage, UB Poker no longer offers an type of Sunday guarantee over $75K, so they’ve been dropped from the list of Sunday majors. Full Tilt was light this week because of FTOPS tournaments replacing some of the usual events, and we’re only including the Sunday Mulligan with its dramatically reduced guarantee of $50K only until some of the other events return in coming weeks. And PokerStars renamed its DNG Sunday Special as The Bigger $55, but most of its guarantees stayed above $200K and thus remain listed below.
