More than $2.6M Awarded During PokerStars PA & NJ Bounty Builders

While bracelet events are dominating the headlines in the online poker world these days, they're not the only notable tournaments being held.

Stateside, PokerStars wrapped up two Bounty Builders series over the weekend, one in New Jersey and the other in Pennsylvania. Players were treated to nearly $2.7 million in prize pools across a slew of progressive knockout (PKO) formats, making for enjoyable action from July 12-26.

PA Players Smash Guarantees

The Pennsylvania series was the more ambitious of the two in terms of total guarantees, with $1.5 million promised. That was a big jump from the $500K guaranteed in a similar series back in February.
