Adding some extra punch to its momentum in Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/a>, PokerStars<\/strong><\/a> is now bringing its popular Bounty Builder Series<\/strong> to the US. For the first time, players in the Keystone State and New Jersey<\/strong> can battle it out in this knockout format from Feb. 20 to March 1.<\/p>\n

In Pennsylvania, the FOX Bet<\/strong> and PokerStars<\/strong> series will feature a $500,000<\/strong> guarantee. That includes 32 progressive knockout (PKO<\/strong>) events, with the $300<\/strong> buy-in Main Event<\/strong> on March 1<\/strong> guaranteeing $100,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The series will also take place in New Jersey<\/a> over the same dates with a $300,000<\/strong> guarantee.<\/p>\n

A look at the PokerStars US Bounty Builder Series<\/span><\/h2>\n

PokerStars has seen a major push in Pennsylvania and remains the only online poker<\/a> operator in the state so far. This marks an added event in the state and also carries over to New Jersey as well.<\/p>\n

A bounty tournament offers some added fun for players. With a bounty on everyone who takes part, players can win cash with each opponent they eliminate.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a twist with the PKO format however. The winner doesn\u2019t keep all the bounty \u2013 50%<\/strong> is added to his own bounty. That means they progressively become a bigger target, with that bounty growing in value.<\/p>\n

The two Bounty Builder series mirror each other in both states in events and dates. Buy-ins range from $10 to $750<\/strong> and satellites start at $1<\/strong> for numerous events.<\/p>\n

With a larger pool of players, however, the guarantees are larger in Pennsylvania. For example, the $100 Kick-Off<\/strong> features a $20,000<\/strong> guarantee in Pennsylvania<\/a> and only $10,000<\/strong> in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
