The first ever Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker<\/b> (PASCOOP) got underway\u00a0on PokerStars PA<\/b><\/a> last Saturday.<\/p>\n As has been the case with previous tournament series on the site, players are coming out in big numbers to create large fields and guarantee-exceeding prize pools.<\/p>\n Ever since the shutdown of casinos in the state due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic<\/b> forced a temporary pause on live poker, traffic on PokerStars PA traffic has been higher than it has ever been since first launching just over five months ago.<\/p>\n Since mid-March, most evenings have seen 3,000-4,000 players<\/b> or more logged onto the site, already twice the number typically seen previously. On Saturday, April 4 \u2014 the first day of PASCOOP \u2014 the number of \u201cseats filled\u201d exceeded 6,000<\/b> during the evening hours once the first events were underway.<\/p>\n Turnouts for tournaments that first Saturday night certainly reflected the heavier traffic, with prize pools more than doubling the guarantees in multiple events on Day 1 of PASCOOP.<\/p>\n Indeed, the kickoff $100 buy-in Event #1-H: Nightly Stars \u2013 PASCOOP Warm-Up<\/b> saw more than 1,100 total entries build a prize pool of<\/b> $102,540.60<\/b>, over twice the $50K guarantee and the largest prize pool of the series thus far.<\/p>\n Event $15-H<\/b>, the $500 buy-in High Roller<\/b> event scheduled last night, attracted a large turnout as well with 177 total entries creating a $83,190<\/b> prize pool, well above that tournament\u2019s $50K guarantee.<\/p>\n About one-third of the 100 scheduled events have now completed, 16 each from the \u201cHigh\u201d and \u201cLow\u201d tournament tiers. Of those 32 tournaments, all but two<\/strong> exceeded the guarantees, the exceptions coming in a couple of $5 buy-in \u201cLow\u201d events.<\/p>\n Through 32 tournaments, the prize pools have totaled just over $1.05 million <\/b>already, well over the $664K worth of guarantees to this point.<\/p>\n That puts PASCOOP on pace easily to exceed the $1,559,767 in prize money <\/b>won during the first-ever Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker<\/b> in December.<\/p>\n Modeled after the long-running Spring Championship of Online Poker <\/b>that takes place each year on PokerStars\u2019 global site, the inaugural PASCOOP features 100 tournaments and runs through Monday, April 20<\/strong> with the scheduled guarantees totaling exactly $2 million<\/b>.<\/p>\n In the coming days the PASCOOP schedule includes more non-hold\u2019em events, including\u00a0pot-limit Omaha<\/strong> (tonight and again next Monday) and the 8-game mix<\/strong> (on Friday). There are numerous\u00a0no-limit hold\u2019em<\/strong> events as well at a variety of buy-ins and featuring many different formats. Click here for the full PASCOOP schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n The PASCOOP Main Event<\/b> happens Sunday, April 19, the \u201cHigh\u201d version of which features a $300 buy-in<\/b> and a $200,000 guarantee<\/b>, while the \u201cLow\u201d will have a $50 buy-in<\/b> and $100,000 guarantee<\/b>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at the turnouts and totals thus far during the first third of the 2020 PASCOOP.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Event #5-L had an overlay of $358<\/p>\n **Event #9-L had an overlay of $165.90<\/p>\n The post PokerStars PASCOOP Off To Fast Start With Over $1 Million Paid Out, And Counting<\/a> appeared first on Play Pennsylvania<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first ever Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker (PASCOOP) got underway\u00a0on PokerStars PA last […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"link","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"vebbtech_seo_disable_yoast":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_author":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_date":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_factchecker":false,"vebbtech_seo_fact_check_enabled":false,"vebbtech_seo_post_reviewer":0,"vebbtech_seo_post_review_date":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-34706","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-link","6":"category-news-category","7":"post_format-post-format-link"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPennsylvania players staying at home, playing PASCOOP<\/span><\/h2>\n
