Following the successful PACOOP<\/b> or Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker<\/b> (Nov. 30-Dec. 16) and Winter Series<\/b> (Jan. 25-Feb. 1), PokerStars PA <\/b>continued to fill the schedule for online poker<\/b> <\/span>players in Pennsylvania with the Bounty Builder Series<\/b> (Feb. 20-Mar. 1). <\/span><\/p>\n

Thus far Bounty Builder Series appears to be another hit with consistently large turnouts and guarantees easily exceeded in nearly every event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday night the 32-event series<\/strong> reached its halfway point, and through 16 events<\/strong> all but one have featured prize pools greater than the stated guarantees, in a few cases more than doubling the guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

PokerStars PA smashing guarantees overall<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Mini Kick-Off <\/b>and 4-Max<\/b> events (both with $20 buy-ins) and the Bounty Builder $30 <\/b>all had prize pools that were more than twice their guarantees, with the Mini Kick-Off attracting a total of 690 entries (including re-entries), the largest field of the series to this point. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bigger buy-in events have for the most part also easily met their guarantees. Four out of five of the $100 buy-in events have done so, as did the $250 buy-in Sunday High Roller \u2013 Bounty Builder<\/b> last weekend. <\/span><\/p>\n

Among these the $100 buy-in Bounty Builder Series Kick-Off<\/b> with a $20,000 guarantee was a highlight, attracting 363 total entries to create a $33,323.40 prize pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lone event so far with an overlay was the $100 buy-in Sunday Special \u2013 Bounty Builder Edition<\/b>. It was one of seven events on Sunday, the busiest day of the entire schedule. That event also sported the largest guarantee thus far of $50,000, and with 470 total entries they were 75 shy of hitting that mark, thus creating a $6,854 overlay.<\/span><\/p>\n

More Bounty Builder Series action lies ahead at PA and NJ<\/span><\/h2>\n

Overall tournaments in the PokerStars PA Bounty Builder Series total $500,000 in guarantees<\/strong>. The series continues with two or three events each day this week and five on Sunday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight comes the $750 buy-in High Roller<\/b> with a $35,000 guaranteed prize pool. Meanwhile on Sunday will be the $300 buy-in Main Event<\/b> with a $100,000 guarantee. Click here for a look at the full PokerStars PA Bounty Builder Series schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over in New Jersey, PokerStars NJ <\/b>is concurrently running their own Bounty Builder Series with an almost identical 32-event schedule and guarantees totaling $300,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

There the story has been similar, with guarantees being routinely exceeded in most events. Only two of the 16 tournaments thus far have had overlays, a $10 buy-in event and a $50 one. <\/span><\/p>\n

The largest prize pool to this point came in their version of the Sunday Special \u2013 Bounty Builder Edition <\/b>which actually featured a larger buy-in of $200 and had a $30,690 prize pool, just eclipsing the $30,000 guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n
