The PokerStars PA andFox Bet Winter Series is off to a hot start in Pennsylvania.

The first six days have seen large turnouts, guarantee-eclipsing prize pools and nearly $800,000 awarded thus far.

Clean sweep: Guarantees exceeded in each of first 26 events

About a week ago, PokerStars and FOX Bet announced that the Winter Series would be returning on PokerStars PA beginning Thursday, January 21. The highly-acclaimed tournament series has been scheduled to run until January 31 and will feature a total of 45 fun and exciting events with guaranteed prize pools of up to a whopping $1 million. Winter Series event and tickets won in All-in Shootouts will be valid for 365 days. If unused during Winter Series, they can be used for any regular tournaments or satellites on PokerStars with the equivalent buy-in. Winter Series $3 Spin & Go's. Instead onebrl entered the Winter Series Monday Million on Christmas Day and overcame a field of more than 11,000 entrants for a life-changing score of more than $119,000. Day 1 of this special holiday Monday Million ended with 208 players still in the field, led by Poland's CzasNaWas.

This year’s PokerStars PA Winter Series is an ambitious one. The schedule features 45 events and just over $1 million in total guarantees. That is significantly up from the 30 events and $675,000 in total guarantees during the first running of the Winter Series in January 2020.

It appears, from the first half of the series, that those changes were warranted.

Turnouts have been consistently high on each of the first six days. In fact, all 26 events thus far have had prize pools exceeding their guarantees.

While most tournament series run on PokerStars PA have attracted big fields and created prize pools often exceeding guarantees, typically, at least a handful of tournaments feature small overlays along the way.

That hasn’t been the case in this year’s Winter Series. In a few instances, the prize pools have more than doubled the guarantees.

Event #4, a $100 buy-in no-limit hold’em 6-max turbo, had a $8,500 guarantee and wound up awarding over $17,800. Event #5, a seven-handed turbo bounty event with a $20,000 guarantee, had enough players to push the prize pool over $50,000.

Similarly, the $5,000 guaranteed Event #10, the $75 H.O.R.S.E., awarded more than $10,800. Also, Event #16, a $75 pot-limit Omaha tournament, had a prize pool of more than $13,400, which more than doubled the $6,500 guarantee.

The largest prize pool to this point came in the event sporting the largest guarantee. The $100 buy-in Event #15, a “special edition” of the Sunday Special, came with a $100,000 guarantee. Almost 1,200 total entries together pushed the prize pool for that one close to $110,000.

As noted, just over $738,000 has been won so far in the series. That’s more than $200,000 clear of the $532,000 in total guarantees through the first 26 events.

High Roller, Main Event highlight remaining Winter Series schedule

There are still a number of big events left on the PokerStars PA Winter Series schedule, which continues through this Sunday, Jan. 31. Some of the remaining highlights include:
