Players in PA have already shown their excitement for PokerStars so we took things to the next level with a $1 million series guarantee and plenty of ways to get in on the action.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Details of PACOOP<\/h2>\n<p>Welcome to the world of PA online poker. PACOOP will be the Commonwealth\u2019s first <strong>50-tournament<\/strong> online poker championship. Here are the key details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The series runs from <strong>Nov. 30<\/strong> to <strong>Dec. 6<\/strong> at <strong>PokerStars.bet.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The contest includes a variety of <strong>tournaments and buy-ins<\/strong> ranging from <strong>$30<\/strong> to <strong>$750<\/strong>.

Each freeroll will award <strong>$1,250 in satellite tickets<\/strong> and entries to PACOOP events, totaling $20,000.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div data-ctaid=\"467\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>PA online poker is already popular<\/h2>\n<p>When PokerStars and <strong>PokerStars Casino<\/strong> launched on the FOX Bet app in PA, it made the world\u2019s largest online poker operator the first poker operator to go live in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Pennsylvanian, PokerStars Ambassador, and accomplished chess player and poker player<strong> Jennifer Shahade<\/strong> added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to see PokerStars\u2019 COOP coming to Pennsylvania this December, giving PA players the chance to play in a world-renowned poker series and vie for titles. Having online poker in Pennsylvania has been amazing so far. I felt chills playing my very first Sunday session, and there was such a buzz at the tables. I can\u2019t wait to see everyone battling to be the first PokerStars PA champion.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>PokerStars New Jersey<\/strong> wrapped up its Championship of Online Poker (<strong>NJCOOP<\/strong>) at the end of October. It also featured <strong>$1 million<\/strong> in total guaranteed prize money and 50 events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Still, PA likes to flex on Jersey. The number of players in Pennsylvania surpassed New Jersey on the first day of play. In terms of PokerStars Sunday Majors, PA PokerStars\u2019 guarantees are <strong>larger<\/strong> than New Jersey\u2019s current guarantees.<\/p>\n<h2>World Championship of Online Poker breaks record<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The World Championship of Online Poker<\/strong> (WCOOP) is PokerStars\u2019 most prestigious online series.
