The PokerStars PA Winter Series <\/b>has completed, finishing up over the weekend prior to yesterday\u2019s Super Bowl LIV<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following the successful PACOOP <\/b>or Pennyslvania Championship of Online Poker <\/b>(Nov. 30-Dec. 16), the Winter Series appears to have been a hit as well among online poker<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>players in the Keystone State, with most events exceeding their guarantees. <\/span><\/p>\n

Payouts total $828,205 across 30 events<\/span><\/h2>\n

Run alongside Fox Bet<\/b><\/a>\u2018s<\/span> \u201cRoad to Miami\u201d that culminated with the Big Game on Sunday, the football-themed Winter Series featured 30 events playing out over eight days from Jan. 25-Feb. 1. <\/span><\/p>\n

Seven of those 30 events had overlays, although ultimately the $828,205 in total payouts<\/strong> well exceeded the $675,000<\/strong> in total guarantees. In all there were 9,314 total entries<\/strong> (counting re-entries) in 30 tournaments, meaning an average of about 310 entries per event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the seven events with overlays, the largest all came during the first half of the series. Most also came in tournaments with above-average buy-ins such as the $250 buy-in The Sack \u2013 Super Tuesday Special Edition <\/b>(with a $4,584 overlay) and $200 The Blitz \u2013 Sunday Special Edition<\/b> (with a $4,244 overlay).<\/span><\/p>\n

All but two of the events during the second half of the series exceeded their guarantees. The Touchdown \u2013 Thursday Thrill Special Edition <\/b>($200 buy-in) came up four entries short of meeting its $35,000 guarantee, and the Deep Hyper-Turbo<\/b> ($100 buy-in) needed 10 more entries to hit its $15,000 guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Main Event features $126,560 prize pool<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike the PACOOP there were no instances of any prize pools in Winter Series events doubling or tripling their guarantees. A few did eclipse the guarantees by especially large margins, however. Those included the first event, The Warm-Up<\/b> ($50 buy-in, $20K guarantee, $36K-plus prize pool) and The Onside Kick \u2013 Vanilla<\/b> ($100 buy-in, $10K guarantee, $19K-plus prize pool). <\/span><\/p>\n

On average the 23 events that exceeded their guarantees did so by just over 33 percent<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Culminating the series on Saturday was The Big Game \u2013 Main Event<\/b>, a $300 buy-in tournament that attracted 452 entries<\/strong> (313 uniques, 139 re-entries) to build a $126,560 prize pool<\/strong>. It was the largest of the series, easily clearing the $100,000 guarantee. <\/span><\/p>\n

After just over eight-and-a-half hours of play, \u201cyoubestnotmiss<\/b>\u201d\u00a0won the event and the $22,565.73<\/strong> first prize. PokerStars PA Ambassador Jennifer Shahade<\/b> was among those taking part as well, falling in 92nd place and thus outside the top 63 who made the cash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple winners stand out in Winter Series<\/span><\/h2>\n

There were two players who won two Winter Series events. \u201ccabby1234\u201d won both The Return \u2013 6-Max<\/b> ($50 buy-in, $3,843.88 for first) and Hail Mary \u2013 Turbo <\/b>($50 buy-in, $2,334.23 for first). \u201cCL911129<\/b>\u201d won both The Spin \u2013 Battle Royale Special Edition<\/b> ($50 buy-in, $2,464.25 for first) and The Comeback \u2013 Progressive KO <\/b>($100 buy-in, $5,160.70 for first plus bounties). <\/span><\/p>\n

Another player, \u201cPhishfan717<\/b>,\u201d\u00a0followed up a victory in a PACOOP event with another in the Winter Series (both in $150 buy-in events).<\/span><\/p>\n

Pennsylvania again outpacing New Jersey<\/span><\/h2>\n

The PokerStars PA Winter Series followed the completion of the PokerStars NJ Winter Series<\/b> <\/i>in January, a nine-day, 21-event series that featured $300,000<\/strong> in guarantees. <\/span><\/p>\n

In PokerStars NJ\u2019s version of the series, every event exceeded its guarantee except one that was canceled, with the total payouts adding up to $393,863.45<\/strong>. That included a $81,375<\/strong> prize pool in the Main Event. Average participation in the 20 events that ran in the PokerStars NJ Winter Series was just over 178 entries per event<\/strong> (3,563 total entries).<\/span><\/p>\n
