Prior to yesterday's Super Bowl game between the New Orleans Saints (31) and the Indianapolis Colts (17), the 100K Guaranteed Poker Tournament got underway and the final table featured some familiar screen names. This week's winner, "170mmachamp", took first place and a cool $25,000 in tournament cash. Bodog kicked in $35K because that's the name of the game — $100K Guaranteed.

Here's the final table payout breakdown from last night's 100k Guaranteed:

Place | Screen | Name | Payout
1 | 170mmachamp | $25,000.00

The buzz for the Bodog Sunday $100K Guaranteed tournament continues to grow, and this week 497 players played for the $100K. Bodog added an extra $25,450 (an overlay of 25.45%) to bring the prize up to the guaranteed limit, and when it was all over “fakker11” was the winner of the $25K first-place prize. It was a big boost to the bankroll of the winning limit-holdem grinder, who spends most of his time playing $3/$6 limit cash games.

In the heads-up battle he beat out an accomplished MTT shark named “pokerarg”, who had to settle for the $15K second-place prize. “pokerarg” has won hundreds of thousands of dollars playing online poker tournaments over the last couple of years, but wasn’t able to close it out on Sunday. The complete final table results look like this;

1. fakker11 – $25,000.00
2. pokerarg – $15,000.00
3. Jack0fAllTrades – $9,500.00
4. chiquita – $7,000.00
5. iLLNuGWichee – $5,500.00
6. Papadelpoker – $4,500.00

The Bodog Beat congratulates "crc925" for finishing first in last night's $100K Guaranteed Poker Tournament. For the win, crc925 picks up a sweet $25,000! A total of 454 players participated and $31,900 in added money was kicked in by your friends over at Bodog Poker.

Before I give you all the final table breakdown, I want to send a special note to the idiot who made a comment a week or two ago about our $100K Guaranteed Poker Tournaments being "stupid" and "no big deal."  Okay, here's my special little note: "In your face, douchebag!" (I bet you any money if douchebag over there with the chip on his shoulder won $25K or heck even $1,700 he'd think it was a pretty big deal. Am I right?)

And now without any further delay, here is the Sunday, Jan. 24th $100K Guaranteed Final Table:

The folks over at eBay are only giving you another three days (as of this posting) to bid on poker pro T.J. Cloutier's diamond and gold WSOP bracelet — the very same bracelet Cloutier won at the 2005 WSOP $5K No Limit tournament.

I don't know if y'all can remember that far back into WSOP history, but this particular bracelet was up for grabs during Event #13 on June 14th 2005 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. T.J. Cloutier was one of 466 entrants who were playing for a prize pool of $2,190,200 that day. The first-place prize paid Cloutier $657,100 and of course the bejeweled WSOP bracelet — Cloutier's 6th such bracelet and his 37th final table appearance.

"It always feels good to win," Cloutier said afterward. "I'm not ready for the pasture just yet. I still have a few more wins left in me. (John) Bonetti was here tonight and he's 12 years older than me. So, maybe I can still be doing it when I'm his age. Compared to him, I'm still a kid."

Who knows, maybe T.J. Cloutier has played one too many sidegames (he's got it bad for craps, apparently) and now he's hurting for cash? Well, the bidding starts at US $2,999.00 for this piece of poker history.

Got a few extra hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket and you’re in California? You’re in luck this weekend, then, as the 2010 Larry Flynt Challenge Cup concludes at the Hustler Casino in Gardena.

Admit it. Aren't You Just a Bit Curious?

After running 12 events since the calendar turned over to 2010, the main event, a $200 +$25 No-Limit Hold’em tourney, kicks off on Saturday. With a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 that’s a nice payday for only a $225 investment.

Even if you bust out early, you still have a shot to cash in and get your $225 back. There’s also a $100 + $20 No-Limit Hold’em event on Monday with a $50 rebuy.

Not only do you get the chance to add some much-needed cash to your betting bankroll, but you also get to bask in the ambience of the Hustler Casino. What could be better? Actually, don’t answer that. Just go play some cards and send us a thank you note when you win a few bucks.

If you can’t make it out to the Hustler Casino in Gardena, then stay home and play online poker at Bodog! This Sunday’s 100K Guaranteed Tournament is a sure thing.

Most events are $1,100 or less to play, and there will be everything from shootout, mixed games, and heads-up action open for registration. This year’s Main Event is expected to attract nearly 800 entrants and should have a first-place prize of close to two million Australian dollars. Local champion Stewart Scott will be trying to defend his 2009 title, but he’ll have his work cut out for him against the best tournament players in the world.
