The inaugural Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker may have helped establish PokerStars in Pennsylvania, but thanks to strong consistent results over the course of the 50-tournament schedule, it also helped establish some newfound poker stars in Pennsylvania.

The first 12 events on the PokerStars Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker, including the first two on Tuesday’s schedule, all managed to meet their guarantee but as registration closed in Event #13, the number of entries failed to cover the guarantee for the first time in PACOOP history.

The PokerStars Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker continues to produce big fields and prize pools well past the guarantee and as the Day 2 events all soared past their guarantees, a number of players are beginning to emerge as consistent threats.
