The latest installment of the BetMGM Online Series at BetMGM Poker Michigan has concluded. Michigan poker players won more than $357,000 in the 10 tournaments , well exceeding the series’ $240,000 in total guarantees despite a few events having overlays . Big turnouts in several BetMGM Poker events counter small overlays in others
The $357,584 in total prize pools for the September series was down from the just more than $432,000 awarded in August .
As always, the BetMGM Online Series was bookended by Sundays with multiple tournaments. And as it turned out, those were the series’ biggest days.
The first day saw a big 344-entry turnout for the kickoff $215 no-limit hold’em event, creating a $68,800 prize pool that well exceeded the $40,000 guarantee .
Sunday also saw the always popular $20 “Mini” event . This time the event had a $10,000 guarantee. But with 2,388 entries the prize pool more than quadrupled that, ultimately settling at $42,984 .
The final Sunday saw another big turnout for the penultimate $215 NLH 6-Max event. That one also had a $40,000 guarantee , but 389 entries meant a prize pool nearly double that at $77,800 .
The series-ending $1,060 buy-in “high roller” also met its guarantee, although this time BetMGM Online MI reduced the guarantee to $50,000 when it had been twice that in the past. The 53 entries created a $53,000 prize pool to cap off the series.
Four of the 10 events had overlays , all occurring during the week and in larger buy-in events ($215 and $320). In those events BetMGM Poker MI had to contribute $14,600 to prize pools to meet their guarantees. That’s less than a third of the $46,500 worth of overlays during the August BetMGM Online Series.
