The $5,300 no-limit hold'em high roller event was canceled due to insufficient entries, highlighting concerns over whether the high entry fee was too steep for online players.
Only four players registered for the high roller, which needed at least eight to run. The satellites for the tournament may have contributed to this issue.
With the World Series of Poker Online featuring 33 events, most buy-ins between $250 and $1,000, the cancellation calls into question the viability of such high fees for online play.
As Pennsylvania looks to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement, the potential influx of players could bolster the online poker landscape, especially given its sizable population.
