Pennsylvania Sunday Majors: ‘Catfur77’ Ships Sunday Special

Online poker players in Pennsylvania had themselves a busy Sunday for the first time since the state first regulated online gaming just over two years ago.
Following the launch of PokerStars PA earlier this week, a brand new set of Sunday Majors gave Keystone State grinders something to look forward. The five marquee events on the schedule came with buy-ins from $10 to $100 and a total of $67,500 guaranteed.

The main attraction, the $100 buy-in Sunday Special, drew 472 Entries from 322 unique players for total prize pool of $43,329.60. Taking home the lion’s share of that was ‘Catfur77‘ who earned $7,712.36 and the first Sunday Special title in Pennsylvania history. Runner-up ‘remispjr33’ had to settle for $5,652.95 while ‘Lerxst027’ rounded out the podium finishers and walked away with $4,143.60.
Team PokerStars Pro Jennifer Shahade finished 12th for $471.07.
The day began with the $30 buy-in Sunday Warm-Up which drew 395 runners. That pushed the total prize pool to $10,783.50, well past the $7,500 guarantee. ‘MsPumpernickel’ wound up on top, earning $1,955.15 for the win while ‘Shortstopmills’ pocketed $1,432.89 after outlasting all but one player. Third-place finisher 24COB24 also earned a four-figure score, earning $1,050.30.
The $10 Sunday Storm Six Max became the first PA Sunday Major to end up in a chop when ‘jace15076’ and ‘JSell1982’ made a heads-up deal that earned them $874 and $873.99 respectively. ‘LoveMILFs2’ earned $499.83 for finishing third.
The biggest buy-in of the five, the $250 Sunday High Roller, had 59 total entries from 45 uniques to build a $13,747 prize pool. ‘NeolithicFarmer’ won $4,902.78 for winning the event and ‘kingkendr1ck’ pocketed $3,023.40 for finishing second. ‘CleggsOnGG’ finished in third, earning $1,864.46.
While the first four events all easily cleared their guarantee, the final event of the night fell short. The $50 buy-in Sunday Supersonic Hyper-Turbo brought in 92 entries, creating a $676 overlay on the $5,000 guarantee. ’22EPL’ picked up $1,187.48 for winning the event while ‘youngmoney915’ got $873.16 for finishing as the runner-up.
