Online poker tournaments were a bit down this past weekend as most of the world celebrated the holidays. Sites like Bwin and iPoker both dropped the guarantees on their biggest majors, down to $100k from $200k. While this allowed them to reach their guarantees, it did create smaller prize pools and lower payouts. PokerStars, meanwhile, continued their dominance of online poker tournament by being the only site with $300,000+ prize pools on Sunday. A handful of their majors, including the Million, Warm-Up, and Sunday500 all breezed past their guarantees on their way to solid numbers.
With New Year’s falling on next Sunday, it might just be another small day for online poker. However, players will be out in full force on Stars trying to qualify for the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure which begins in just 9 days. To check out their satellites just head over to the tournament section in the PS lobby.
