    Fanduel ran a satellite tournament on Friday for their $60,000 Daily Fantasy Baseball Championship, and none other than SamENole (Matt Smith) took it down. Glad he's finding ways to occupy his time post Black Friday. SamENole was one of our original ranked P5ers, back when Adam and I did it by hand.

    I'm not sure if Matt took us up on our offer of $10 free to try the DFBC qualifying events, but it is still open to all PocketFivers. Simply click on this link and start an account:

    Congrats Matt - what did first place pay, did the winner take $60k or did it pay out multiple spots?

    Matt won a seat into the $60,000 tournament, which takes place later this year. I think there are 20 total seats in that tournament.

    $60,000 is the largest prize pool yet for a one day fantasy tournament. It's a small industry compared to poker, but it's growing quickly. We'll probably see some six figure prize pool come football season (silent prayer that football season comes).

    Yeah, that's a lot of pressure to be in a one-off fantasy sports tournament on Fanduel that has a top prize of $25,000!!!
