The Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker (PASCOOP) wrapped up recently at PokerStars. The series produced nice numbers, paying out $2.6 million – a 30% increase over the $2 million guarantee.
The series saw more than 47,000 entries across 41 events and featured three-buy-in levels.
Inside the PokerStars PASCOOP numbers
Turnout remains high for online poker in Pennsylvania. Players continue to head to PokerStars for major series and that continued with PASCOOP.
The two-day PASCOOP Main Event High ended on May 3 and attracted 1,015 entries. That produced a total prize pool of $284,200, a hefty bump to the $200,000 guarantee.
In the end, “Kingboss93” took the top spot for $46,410 after predicting his victory earlier this year. In April, Kingboss93 placed second in PokerStars’ Pennsyl-Mania tournament.
Upon being congratulated on Twitter, King predicted the PASCOOP win.

Beyond the Main Event, PASCOOP featured two important firsts for PokerStars in Pennsylvania. The series included three buy-in tiers for the first time – High, Medium, and Low.
The approach helped provide opportunities for players of all bankrolls to compete. The series also included a $2,000 high roller event for the first time.
That event garnered 53 entries and awarded a $100,700 prize pool. “Pariszoo11” came out on top for $16,970.
Some other PASCOOP winners
This year’s PASCOOP featured two other main events as well. “fubadbeatbob” won the $75 “mid” event for $9,380 and “s3agoat1” took down the $30 “mini” for $4,485.
The series also produced several doubles winners. Here’s a look at those who claimed two PASCOOP trophies:

PokerStars recently announced the signing of two PA-based poker streams. Both Mark “naigo1” Foresta and Kevin “whoopsboom” Becker made multiple final tables. Each also came close to winning a title.
Foresta finished third in the $300 Super Tuesday (Event 26-H). Fellow Stars ambassador Jennifer Shahade also took ninth.
Becker recorded two third-place finishes and a runner-up in $200 Eigh-Max, Turbo PKO (Event #33-M). It was a nice series for PokerStars’ newest team members.
