Last Month's Second Pennsyl-MANIA Event Brought $376K Prize Pool to PokerStars PA

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Following the massive success of the first running of Pennsyl-MANIA in May, PokerStars PA opted to fire up another one last month, this time with an increased guarantee. They bumped the number from an already-record $250,000 to $350,000, and the guarantee was surpassed once more, though it wasn't without a mild sweat.

This time, 2,026 entries — 1,274 of them being unique players — created a prize pool of $376,836, enough to nudge past the number by just about 8%.

Just like last time, the big prize money incentivized a deal between the final few players. This time, it was four players who split up the big dough at the close of the final day on Monday:

Place	Player	Prize
1	"SlotWinna777"	$44,641*
2	"Bellas59"	$37,993*
3	"GTOThanos_PB"	$31,400*
4	"tjl5124"	$31,402*
5	"redhanded77"	$14,536
6	"DomeGod69420"	$10,362
7	"johnnyboat46"	$7,386
8	"Shovel344"	$5,265
9	"anteater9999"	$3,753

_{*reflects four-handed deal}

"Slotwinna777" took the biggest chunk but it was a fairly even split all around as everyone got at least $31K from the chop. It took three shells for "Slotwinna777," but they still wound up with a handsome profit.

Latest Big Prize Pool on PokerStars PA

Pennsyl-MANIA II followed up Pennsyl-MANIA, which established a slew of state records, and PASCOOP Main Event as the three biggest prize pools created in the fledgling market.

	PASCOOP Main Event	Pennsyl-MANIA	Pennsyl-MANIA II
Buy-in	$300	$200	$200
Entries	1,315	2,774	2,026
Prize pool	$368,200	$515,964	$376,836
Winner (prize)	"LiveMonster179" ($57,394)	"D-Low1527" ($69,670)	"Slotwinna777" ($44,641)

It remains to be seen whether Pennsyl-MANIA will continue as a regularly reoccurring tournament, but there's likely to be more big tournaments ahead either way. The advent of the upcoming World Championship of Online Poker means a mirror tournament should be announced soon for PokerStars PA. Keep an eye out, and PokerNews will monitor for any updates on the blockbuster series.
