October’s been a good month for WSOP.com players in Pennsylvania who love it when poker rooms over-promise and are forced to add money to the kitty . Few things make players feel better than getting extra value on their tourney buy-ins, and WSOP.com made its players feel all warm and fuzzy throughout the month with overlays that added up to more than $285K. WSOP PA missed guarantee after guarantee this October (Image: WSOP.com) The WSOP.com’s Online Championship only attracted enough players to meet its guarantees in 12 of its 63 events so far. The series ends tonight with two tourneys, a $525, $25K guarantee at 6 pm ET and a $100, $20K guarantee at 7 pm ET. If October’s trend continues, players will most likely see more overlays and gain additional value in both tourneys.
WSOP.com surpassed its guarantees by $46K in a dozen events, meaning the online poker site had to lay out about $239K over the course of the fall’s Online Championship. Missing the big ones
Only one event with a guarantee of more than $5,000 reached its promise. Sunday’s $215, $35K event attracted 339 entrants, the largest player pool in the series. With the help of 43 rebuys, the prize pool swelled to more than $76K. But, on that same day, WSOP.com was forced to overlay $45,900 in its $300, 150K guaranteed Fall Championship. KlumaN was one of the 231 players to benefit from the added dollars and relatively small field, taking down the event for $28,800 and a championship belt.
The tourneys with $75K guarantees provided the most value to players and accounted for some big misses, including a $38K overlay in a $100 event on the first day of the series on Oct. 10, and a $32K overlay in a second $100 event a week later. None of the site’s three $11, $22,222 guarantee tourneys achieved their promise during the series, missing by $12,630, $14,552, and $13,406, respectively. Marketed as “warm-up” events, the tourneys offered players a $22 add-on at the end of the rebuy period. Pooling players and meeting guarantees
