Well, those in Pennsylvania don’t have to wait any longer as the 2021 PASCOOP kicks off this weekend and runs through May 3.

The PASCOOP offers more than $2 million in guaranteed prize pools across 120 events with buy-ins as low as $5 up to $1,000. The highlight of the series is the two-day $300 buy-in Main Event on May 2 featuring a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.

In addition, the first-ever Michigan Spring Championship of Online Poker (MISCOOP) will run alongside the New Jersey Spring Championship of Online Poker (NJSCOOP) from May 8 to May 24. Full details on MISCOOP and NJSCOOP to be announced in the coming weeks.

MISCOOP follows on from the inaugural Michigan Championship of Online Poker (MICOOP) series, which took place earlier this year and saw players come out in force to win over $2.2 million, exceeding the original series guarantee of $1 million.

All told, more than $5 million in guaranteed prize pool will be offered across the trio of US-facing SCOOPs. What’s more, PokerNews will be offering live updates from 10 tournaments in each series for a total of 30 events of live coverage!

“SCOOP is a prestigious tournament series and we’re excited to bring it back to Pennsylvania and New Jersey and to offer it to our Michigan community for the first time,” said FOX Bet CEO Kip Levin. “We’ve guaranteed a massive $5 million in total prizes across the three states and we’ve added $30,000 in extra value in special offers for our players in PASCOOP. We’re looking forward to sharing the full details for MISCOOP and NJSCOOP soon, but players can now get those dates in their calendars and gear up for these awesome series.”
