Over the weekend, a massive tournament went down at PokerStars, building a heaping prize pool that poker players crave with live games yet to get back on track.
No, not that one on the main PokerStars client.
This one was Pennsyl-MANIA, which promised a state-record guarantee of $250,000 in a $200 reentry event. That promised pool proved to be aiming low, if anything, as $515,964 was collected across 2,774 entries.

Those 2,774 entries — 1,760 of them being unique players while the others consisted of players using up to five allotted reentries — were whittled down to 291 heading into Day 2, the tournament already well into the money.
