This year’s New Jersey Championship of Online Poker at PokerStars New Jersey has crossed its halfway point. Players have won more than $655,000 so far, with the $300 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed Main Event still to come this weekend. Awarding of NJCOOP trophies highlight series first 10 days while some events have overlays
A total of 35 NJCOOP tournaments have now been completed from the original 60-event schedule . Those events have attracted more than 5,800 total entries (including re-entries), with prize pools adding up to $655,833.90 .
The guarantees in those 35 events totaled $591,500 . For the entire series the guarantees add up to just over $1 million , suggesting the total amount awarded in this year’s NJCOOP might land somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.1 million . That would rival the just over $1.12 million won during the 2020 version of NJCOOP.
So far just over a third of the tournaments have had overlays . There were 12 different events in which turnouts forced PokerStars NJ to make up the difference to meet the guarantees. Those overlays totaled a little more than $26,000 . The largest of just over $7,500 came in a $25,000 guaranteed deep-stacked event early in the series.
One scheduled event, a $100 buy-in no-limit hold’em/pot-limit Omaha mixed event from yesterday (Event #32), does not show in the client and was presumably canceled .
Meanwhile, three NJCOOP Championship Trophies have been won so far. Player “monkeyman067” won the first trophy in the series Big Kickoff event, “kyleorto86” won another in a Super Tuesday. PokerStars NJ star “Stonniepokes” also took one in the $1,000 High Roller event, one of two events the player has one in the series.
Seven NJCOOP events have been designated “trophy events” this time. That means more trophies are up for grabs this week, including in the $300 Main Event that starts Sunday, Sept. 26 .
