With the WCOOP (World Championship of Online Poker) and SCOOP (Spring variant of the same) both very popular poker festivals, PokerStars hope that the PACOOP (Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker) will strike the same chord with local players that the brand do on an international scale with the former two championships.

Setting aside the obvious flaw that the correct acronym would be PCOOP, it’s a bold attempt to capture the first flush of interest from Pennsylvania by ‘Stars and comes with a million-dollar guarantee across 50 events.
