The PokerStars Mega Overlay satellite was held last weekend and when the dust settled on Sunday, a whopping 34 seats to the Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup were awarded! This includes 24 seats that were added from the 599 total entries in the 3 starting flights plus the 10 seats added to the prize pool by PokerStars.

These 34 seats double the number of live satellite seats that have been awarded to date and there are still 24 seats guaranteed in upcoming live satellites.

But that’s not all – there have also been 90 seats (so far) won in online satellites held by PokerStars. All tolled, the Main Event is likely to have at least 200 total satellite entries!
