The Philadelphia Phillies had dreams of playing baseball this October. So, too, did the Pittsburgh Pirates at one point, although those hopes were dashed some time ago. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, both of which are currently at 2-3, are hopeful the rest of the month goes their way.
But October is an exciting month for players at BetMGM Poker PA, which is bringing its popular Online Series back for a run from mid-month to Halloween. The series is powered by the partypoker US Network.
Although the series is also being run in Michigan and New Jersey, the latter series will be held one week earlier.
In Pennsylvania, an eight-day tournament with 10 events is planned. The action starts on Sunday, October 24 and continues for a week before culminating with a pair of events on Sunday, October 31. Buy-ins range from $18 to $1,000 for the main event.
Two events at 5 pm on October 24 kick off the series. The first is an 8-max No Limit Hold’em (NLH) event with a $200 buy-in and $40,000 guaranteed by the operator. At the same time, BetMGM will hold an 8-max “mini” NLH event with the aforementioned $18 buy-in and $5,000 in prize money guaranteed.
A pair of NLH events follow on October 25 and October 26. The first is an 8-max NLH event with $10,000 guaranteed and a $100 buy-in, while the second is a 6-max NLH event with $15,000 up for grabs and a $200 buy-in.
A pot-limit Omaha (PLO) event, the only one of the 10-event series, is next on October 27. The 6-max PLO has a $100 buy-in and $10,000 guaranteed.
The second half of the series starts with an 8-max progressive knockout (PKO) event on October28 with $20,000 guaranteed. The total cost to enter is $320, which includes a $150 buy-in, a $20 fee and a $150 bounty.
A 6-max “turbo” NLH event with $10,000 guaranteed and a $100 buy-in comes next of October 29. That will be followed by another 6-max NLH with $15,000 guaranteed and a $200 buy-in on October 30—an event identical to the fourth event of the series that was held on October 26.
The series comes to a close with a pair of events at 5 pm ET on October 31. The first is a half-price 8-max NLH with a $100 buy-in and $30,000 in guaranteed prize money up for grabs, while the second is the series’ main event: an 8-max NLH with a $1,000 buy-in and $50,000 guaranteed by BetMGM.
