The first-ever Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker had a number of outstanding performances.

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.


‘NeolithicFarmer’ Dominates PACOOP PLB Leaderboard

While PocketFives isn’t yet able to track all PokerStars PA results, we were able to put together a PACOOP Leaderboard based on the PocketFives Rankings Formula. The name at the top of the leaderboard will not be a surprise to anybody that followed the daily PACOOP recaps on PocketFives.com.

NeolithicFarmer‘ cashed 17 times, including wins in Event #25 ($100 Pot Limit Omaha) and Event #30 ($300 No Limit Hold’em Four Max), to pick up 958.78 PLB points and top the leaderboard by a wide margin.

The next biggest total was nearly 100 points behind. ‘fubadbeatbob‘ also had two wins, Event #15 ($750 High Roller) and Event #50 ($100 Six Max No Limit Hold’em Deep Hyper-Turbo), to finish with 860.04 PLB points. Third place went to ‘CleggsOnGG‘, who managed to accumulate 805.09 points despite never picking up a victory.

Main Event Champ Headlines PACOOP Earnings List

It should come as no surprise to anybody that the winner of the Main Event topped the PACOOP earnings flist. ‘Gyea08’ took down the 640-played, $300 buy-in Main Event for $31,335.64 – the single highest cash in PokerStars PA history. That cash alone was enough  to put them on top of the PACOOP earnings list, but they also managed to cash two other times in earlier events to bring their total winnings to $32,042.64. No other player even came close to cracking the $30,000 mark.

It’s also not a surprise to see ‘NeolithicFarmer‘ near the top of this list. Their $26,577.02 in winnings was the second-highest total for any player in the Keystone State. An impressive $10,228.10 came from their two victories.

Right behind ‘NeolithicFarmer’ was another two-time champ. ‘fubadbeatbob‘ picked up $13,334.40 from their win in Event #15 ($750 Six Max High Roller) and then added an additional $11,935.10 from a dozen other cashes, including a victory in Event #50 ($100 Six Max No Limit Hold’em Deep Hyper-Turbo).

Just 30 players managed to cash for at least $10,000 over the 50-event series and only six of them reached the $20,000 mark.
