It's official: internet poker is still on the rise following the 2005 WSOP. The prize pools in the big weekend tournaments showed an overwhelming amount of growth this week, with PokerStars getting $686k in the pot for their $200 tournament and PartyPoker getting $816,900 in their $350 buy in event. Paradise and UltimateBet also both showed some growth, hitting $124,500 and $132,800 respectively, and even Bodog came much closer than ever to hitting their guarantee, only having to fork up $24k to fill out their $100k prize pool.
The player of the week had to be colson10, who won a WPT seat on Paradise while fighting through the final few tables of the $100k guaranteed on UltimateBet. After securing the seat, he went on to take first on UB as well, which gave him an extra $31k in spending money for his trip.
In addition to colson10, that tournament on UB had a fine showing of pocketfivers at the final table, including jgarza (2nd), SHERBANG (5th), one o clock (6th), jcgoheels (7th), and River-King (10th).
Some pocketfivers to narrowly miss final tables this weekend included 4check, who got 12th in the $100k guaranteed on Bodog, and SamENole, who finished 11th in the big one on Stars. Paushtero and JJProdigy both made the second to last table on UB.
thehatter (HATJR) made the final table of the $200k guaranteed on Party, getting a nice $4k payday for 9th place. brsavage also pulled off a 9th place finish in a major, getting about $2k for his efforts in the $100k guaranteed on Paradise.
