Combined Player Pools Shatter Guarantees In WSOP.com Coast To Coast Classic

The poker player pools in Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware came together as one on May 1. WSOP.com wasted no time in tempting players to get on the combined platform by announcing the Coast to Coast Classic on the following day.

The tournament began on May 11 and guaranteed over $1,000,000 in prizes throughout the series. The lead-up time to the tournament series was necessary as it allowed more players to get their new accounts validated and in working order.

An overview of the Coast to Coast Classic

All three states participated in the 32-event tournament series over 10 days. With buy-ins ranging from $30 to $1,000, the Coast to Coast Classic had something to offer everyone.

The series will surely go down as a resounding success. Of the 32 events, the only one didn’t reach its guarantee. Event #9 – $100 NLH $25,000 guaranteed missed by $528. More than $1.3 million was paid out to players during the series.

The first tournament series following the launch of a combined player pool shows the power it holds. The majority of the 31 events that exceeded their guarantees did so by substantial margins.

The big turnouts bode well for the future of big tournament series on WSOP.com.

Coast to Coast Classic Main Event Recap

The marquee event of the Coast to Coast Classic was Event #29: $500 buy-in $200,001 guaranteed Main Event.

When registration closed, 526 entries (363 entries + 163 re-entries) contributed to the prize pool of $245,642. It crushed the guarantee and became the largest non-bracelet online tournament in U.S. regulated poker history.

Over 11 hours after the Main Event began, New Jersey’s Pierre “P_aire_146” Deissler claimed victory and the first-place prize of $61,411.

Deissler’s win more than doubled his best live tournament cash of $25,986 and nearly 10x his best online cash of $6,965. What’s more, he more than doubled his entire earnings for the past four years on WSOP.com.

If you read through Deissler’s twitter feed, it appears that he will be heading to Las Vegas soon. He doesn’t specifically mention the WSOP, but there’s a good chance he might try to parlay his winnings into a gold bracelet.

  1. Pierre “P_aire_146” Deissler — $61,410
