So kick back, grab your first cup of coffee, and catch up on the latest news!
In Case You Missed It
- Big Winners – There was only one qualifier on last night’s short slate, and that was the $109 DFBC Q for a trip to Vegas and the shot at a million. When all was said and done, the well known Ganondorf took down the top spot and won himself a trip, thanks to a monster 17.5 point game from Kyle Seager. DraftKings also ran very top heavy $300k Perfect Game tournament that awarded $100k to first place, which went to Draconfire thanks to Seager and his pitcher combination of Hernandez and Kershaw. The payouts drop off quite a bit after first, but STLCardinals84 had one of his entries come in 4th for a $10,000 pay out.
- Punch a Trip to Atlantis – Last night on Grinders Live, DraftKings announced its June “Major” event qualifier for the Atlantis championship. It’s a survivor style tournament called the Punch Out that goes over the course of 7 days at the end of June with the winner taking home their choice of $100,000 or $50k and a trip to the Atlantis final for a shot at a million. They have satellites running daily, so make sure you check it out.
Today’s Events
- Tonight’s Action – After a slower night last night, we’re back to a full schedule in MLB. Good thing too, because it should make for a great setup for FanDuel’s $600k Super Monster and DraftKings’ Super Booster tonight, along with a ton of other huge GPPs around the industry. Hockey will come back to us tomorrow night with Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Rangers and the Kings.
