When it comes to film franchises, third installments typically fall short of the heights reached by the first two parts. That was somewhat the case for the third Pennsyl-MANIA<\/strong> event on PokerStars PA<\/strong> that finished Monday night.<\/p>\n

The third go-round of the $200 buy-in<\/strong> no-limit hold\u2019em tournament sported a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool<\/strong>, the largest in the site\u2019s history. While the event once again attracted a huge turnout, it wasn\u2019t quite enough to avoid an overlay<\/strong> of just over $70,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even so, Pennsyl-MANIA Part 3 \u2014 or \u201cP3nnsyl-MANIA\u201d \u2014 ranks as the second-largest tournament<\/strong> in Pennsylvania online poker\u2019s short history.<\/p>\n

\u2018PokerAnomoly\u2019 wins third Pennsyl-MANIA, Shahade makes a run<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like previous Pennsyl-MANIAs, the two-day tournament allowed up to five re-entries. There were a total of 1,421 unique players<\/strong> who re-entered 888 times<\/strong> during the 4.5-hour late registration period.<\/p>\n

Ultimately the 2,309 entries<\/strong> were about 380<\/strong> shy of what was needed to avoid the overlay.<\/p>\n

The top 377<\/strong> finishers divided the $500,000 prize pool. Among those taking part of it was PokerStars Ambassador Jennifer Shahade<\/strong> who finished 37th.<\/p>\n

After leading for all of a short heads-up battle, \u201cPokerAnomoly\u201d<\/strong> won the last all-in with king-queen versus the pocket sevens of \u201cbigpapa272\u201d<\/strong> to win the title and first prize of $74,147.85<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The first Pennsyl-MANIA back in May still ranks as the largest ever on PokerStars PA. That one drew 2,774 entries<\/strong> to create a $515,964 prize pool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a heads-up deal, winner \u201cD-Low1527\u201d<\/strong> earned just over $70K for finishing first in the inaugural Pennsyl-MANIA. Thus the prize \u201cPokerAnomoly\u201d won last night is the largest earned in any of the three Pennsyl-MANIAs.<\/p>\n

High Roller easily eclipses guarantee to build $88K prize pool<\/span><\/h2>\n

For the first time, PokerStars PA added a side event to the Pennsyl-MANIA festivities, a $1,000 NLHE High Roller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The High Roller featured a $50,000<\/strong> guaranteed prize pool and had no problems exceeding that total.<\/p>\n

The 93 total entries<\/strong> (70 uniques) pushed the prize pool up to $88,350<\/strong>. In the end \u201csuperdonkeydave\u201d<\/strong> needed a little over six-and-a-half hours to win all the chips and a $21,243.68<\/strong> first prize.<\/p>\n

PokerStars holds steady revenue-wise as PA online casinos thrive<\/span><\/h2>\n

As has been the case since its November 2019 launch, PokerStars PA remains the only online poker site operating in the Keystone State. Both WSOP.com<\/strong> and partypoker<\/strong> appear poised to open online poker rooms in the state in 2021.<\/p>\n

Since launching, PokerStars PA has averaged just under $2.9 million<\/strong> in revenue each month. Traffic-wise, the site peaked in April<\/strong> with more than $5.2 million<\/strong> in revenue amid casino closures and other measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Over the last three months, PokerStars PA revenue has held steady at right around $2.4 million<\/strong> per month.<\/p>\n

Per orders from the state government, retail casinos are closed once again in Pennsylvania until Jan. 4<\/strong>. Meanwhile PA online casinos are thriving overall, hitting almost $60 million<\/strong> in total revenue to set a new record in November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
