Last year was a good one for PokerStars Pennsylvania<\/strong>, the first full year the site has been live. From the looks of things, this year has begun in fine fashion as well with a successful PokerStars PA<\/strong> and Fox Bet Winter Series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The 11-day<\/strong>, 45-event<\/strong> series concluded Monday night. The tournaments attracted more than 20,000 total entries<\/strong> and collectively awarded just over $1.7 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That total was more than one-and-a-half times the tournaments\u2019 guarantees. In fact, all 45<\/strong> of the tournaments had prize pools exceed their guarantees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n It was the first time a PokerStars PA tournament series saw the prize pool of every single tournament top its scheduled guarantee.<\/p>\n All of the tournament series on the site have been popular among Pennsylvania players. However, each previous series has had at least a few tournaments end with (usually small) overlays<\/strong>. That wasn\u2019t the case with this year\u2019s Winter Series.<\/p>\n The largest prize pool came in the series-climaxing Main Event, a two-day, $300 buy-in<\/strong> no-limit hold\u2019em tournament in which participants were allowed up to five re-entries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Main Event came with a $200,000 guarantee<\/strong>, but with 738<\/strong> entries and 409<\/strong> re-entries, the prize pool ultimately totaled $321,160<\/strong>. Player \u201cokstaeks\u201d<\/strong> took the title to win just over $51,500<\/strong>, the largest first prize of the series.<\/p>\n There were 13,544 entries<\/strong> and 6,633 re-entries<\/strong> across the 45 events. The 20,177 total entries<\/strong> means there was an average of 448<\/strong> entries per event.<\/p>\n The 1,257 entries<\/strong> in the $50 Mini Main Event<\/strong> was the largest field of the Winter Series.<\/p>\n The $1,700,218.90<\/strong> won over the course of the Winter Series was well above the $1,072,000<\/strong> in total guarantees. That ratio of prize pools totaling nearly 1.6 times<\/strong> the guarantees rivals what PokerStars PA enjoyed in last April\u2019s Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker<\/strong> and the PokerStars PA Summer Series<\/strong> in June.<\/p>\n It also more than doubles the amount of money awarded in the inaugural PokerStars PA Winter Series a year ago. That series consisted of 30 events<\/strong> during which players won just over $828,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Nine of the events had prize pools that more than doubled the guarantees. Another one that came close was the $50,000-guaranteed High Roller<\/strong> event with a $1,000 buy-in. The event drew exactly 100 entries, pushing the prize pool up to $95,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at all the turnouts and totals from the PokerStars PA and FOX Bet Winter Series.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Straight Fire: PokerStars PA Winter Series Draws Over 20K Entries, Awards $1.7 Million appeared first on Play Pennsylvania<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last year was a good one for PokerStars Pennsylvania, the first full year the site has been live.
