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 <\/p>\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 <\/p>\n With a big slate of events, there should be something for every budget in the Bounty Builder Series. Here are a few highlights:<\/p>\n There are even tournaments for those with smaller bankrolls. For example, the $50 Mini Main Event<\/strong> features guarantees of $25,000<\/strong> (PA) and $12,000<\/strong> (NJ). There are even a few $10 events<\/strong> on the schedule with nice guarantees.<\/p>\n Most events on the schedule are No Limit Hold\u2019em<\/strong><\/a> tournaments, but Omaha<\/strong> fans will find a couple to suit them. On Feb. 24, a $100 PLO<\/strong> event features an $8,000<\/strong> guarantee in Pennsylvania \u2013\u00a0$5,000<\/strong> in New Jersey. Two days later, check out the $100 No Limit Omaha Hi\/Lo<\/strong> with guarantees of $8,000<\/strong> (PA) and $4,000<\/strong> (NJ).<\/p>\n There will be satellite events throughout the series. Players can win their way into numerous events in the following ways:<\/p>\n With plenty of money on the line and some added knockout fun, players won\u2019t want to miss the action.
