Today is the summer solstice, meaning we’re officially crossing from spring to summer. Meanwhile last night the PokerStars Summer Stacks Festival<\/strong> on PokerStars Pennsylvania<\/strong> crossed its halfway mark where the action continues to heat up along with the temperatures outside.<\/p>\n PokerStars PA<\/strong><\/a> players have won more than $626,000<\/strong> through the first nine days of the 17-day series. So far the Summer Stacks Festival has attracted more than 18,900 total entries<\/strong> with more than a week’s worth of events still to go.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n The 100-tournament<\/strong> festival features relatively lower buy-ins than most series on PokerStars PA. All tournaments cost $100 or less<\/strong> to play. Additionally, most feature speedy structures designed to enable events to complete quickly.<\/p>\n The lower buy-ins haven’t prevented some big prize pools, however, such as the more than $70,000<\/strong> awarded in the first $100 buy-in Sunday Special event. That’s the largest prize pool so far through 55 events<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The second Sunday Special yesterday drew a big field as well although came up just shy of drawing enough to exceed its $65,000<\/strong> guarantee<\/strong>. In fact, PokerStars PA Ambassador Mark “NaigoPA” Foresta<\/strong> broke through to win that event, topping a 676-entry field to capture a handsome first prize of just over $11,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That results will serve Foresta well in his good-natured rivalry<\/a> with fellow site ambassador Keith “AccidentalGrenade” Becker<\/strong> who plays as “whoopsboom”<\/strong> on PokerStars PA. Becker has several deep runs as well so far, including multiple final tables and one third-place finish.<\/p>\n Yesterday’s Sunday Special was one of 16 events<\/strong> so far that have resulted in overlays<\/strong>. Most of the overlays have been on the small side, however, averaging just over $950<\/strong> per instance.<\/p>\n PokerStars is running Summer Stacks Festivals on all three of its US sites during June, each featuring similar 100-event schedules.<\/p>\n At PokerStars Michigan<\/strong> the schedule is almost identical with its $1 million<\/strong> in guarantees coming in just under the $1,045,000<\/strong> in guarantees at PokerStars PA. Meanwhile at PokerStars New Jersey<\/strong> they are also playing 100 tournaments during the same 17 days. At PokerStars NJ, the guarantees add up to $500,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n All three series have staged 55 events so far. To this point, PokerStars PA is winning the competition with over $626,000 awarded.<\/p>\n PokerStars MI<\/strong> is next, with players having won a little more than $545,000<\/strong> in Summer Stacks events to this point. PokerStars NJ<\/strong> players have won just over $301,000<\/strong> in their series.<\/p>\n Among the remaining highlights at PokerStars PA will be the $100 buy-in, two-day Main Event<\/strong> that starts Sunday<\/strong>, June 27<\/strong> at 6 p.m.<\/strong> That tournament features a series-high $100,000 guarantee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n PokerStars PA players have plenty of freerolls<\/strong> available to them as well. The Second Chance Freerolls<\/strong> continue each day for players who bust out of events without cashing. Those are awarding a total of $10,000<\/strong> in Summer Stacks Festival tournament tickets.<\/p>\n Also, the Main Event Depositor Freeroll<\/strong> happens Sunday, June 27 at 2 p.m.<\/strong> PokerStars PA players who deposit at least $30<\/strong> using the bonus code “SUMMER21”<\/strong> by 1:59 p.m.<\/strong> on Sunday will receive a seat in the freeroll. The top 100 finishers in the Depositor Freeroll win entry into that evening’s Main Event, a total of $10,000<\/strong> in value.<\/p>\n Check out the remaining PokerStars PA Summer Stacks Festival by clicking here<\/a>.
