PokerStars in the United States market is indicating its readiness to connect its sites across state lines. Currently, PokerStars Michigan operates separately from PokerStars Pennsylvania and PokerStars New Jersey. Until the governors of those states sign a multi-state liquidity agreement to allow operators to share player pools across state lines, PokerStars has no choice.

However, the operator can run tournaments on all three sites on the same days in a salute to the US market. PokerStars is doing just that on April 4.

PokerStars has announced Pennsyl-MANIA in Pennsylvania, the New Jersey Classic in New Jersey, and the Michigan Classic in – you guessed it – Michigan.

All three tournaments begin on Sunday, April 4 at 5pm. This Saturday, players on the various PokerStars online poker sites in conjunction with FOX Bet can get into big tournaments with sizeable guarantees.

This is a two-day tournament. The action will pause after seven hours and 45 minutes, and it will resume at 5pm ET on Monday, April 5.
