How Big Could Pennsyl-MANIA Get?
If the recently completed PASCOOP is any guarantee, very big, and well beyond the $250,000 number.
While PASCOOP offered a $200K guarantee, the actual turnout of 1,315 entries produced a prize pool nearly doubling that number to $368,200.
While Pennsyl-MANIA doesn't have a ton of time to satellite heaps of players in due to being announced less than a week ago, it does have favorable current market conditions going for it. March, the latest month for which data is available, saw PokerStars PA rake in $3,133,019 in revenue, according to Poker Industry PRO ($). That far surpassed the average total of $2,106,563 from the previous four months, and April numbers will surely be even larger with the PASCOOP boost.
