Buzgon Wins Event #20: $200 8-Game, $12.5K GTD

A break from big-bet-only games came by way of NJCOOP-20: $200 8-Game, $12.5K GTD on Friday night, and it proved to be a hit. The eight-game mixed event drew 81 entries (56 entrants and 25 re-entries), generating an overall prize pool of $15,066 that was paid out to the top 11 players.

When the dust settled, Daniel "loxonbagel" Buzgon was the last player standing, coming out on top after a nearly hour-long final table after he entered as the chip leader.

One by one, players fell until three remained, and just a mere 20 minutes then went by as Buzgon continued to pull away from the pack to take down the top prize of $3,674.77.

"snapcallzzz" Wins 2020 NJCOOP Sunday Special SE

Michael Haberman
Michael Haberman finished as runner-up.

On Sunday, the 2020 NJCOOP continued with Event #27: $300 NLHE [Sunday Special SE], $50K GTD. The tournament attracted 131 players who rebought 100 times, meaning the hefty $50,000 was easily eclipsed by $14,680. The top 31 players all took a slice of the prize pool home, but after seven-and-a-half hours of play, it was "snapcallzzz" who took home $12,613.85 for the victory.

"snapcallzzz" started the final table fourth in chips, but found himself with nearly half the chips in play after rivering the nut flush against eventual fourth-place finisher "icecube2". Mike "FortheThr1ll" Haberman kept lurking all the way into heads-up play and even managed to briefly take the chip lead during the half-hour heads-up battle.

A cooler hand would spell the end of Haberman's run in second place, however, as Haberman flopped trips with an ace kicker, only for "snapcallzzz" to flop a full house, and Haberman couldn't avoid disaster and sent the rest of his chips to "snapcallzzz" after jamming on the river.

"MartinChatwn" Wins Event #15: $1,000 High Roller

Anthony Chin
Anthony Chin finished in second place.

On Wednesday, the 2020 NJCOOP continued with Event #15: $1,000 NLHE [6-Max, High Roller], $45K GTD.

The tournament attracted 29 players who rebought 28 times, which meant the 57-entry field resulted in a $54,150 prize pool.

Once registration closed only 14 players remained meaning only half of them would be getting paid with the eventual winner taking home a $20,693.42 first-place prize.

After nearly six hours of play, it was "MartinChatwn" coming out on top to win the tournament for $20,693.42.

"MartinChatwn" began the final table as the chip leader and they went on a complete tear as they eliminated every single player to claim victory.

"mrblonde2020" Wins Sunday Special

NJCOOP Event 5 Final Hand

On Sunday, October 11 the second day of the 2020 NJCOOP continued with Event #5: $200 NLHE [Sunday Special SE], $40K GTD. The tournament attracted 136 players who rebought 57 times, which meant the 193-entry field resulted in the advertised $40,000 prize pool. That will be paid out to the top 26 players with the eventual winner taking home a $7,940.59 first-place prize.

After nearly eight hours of play, it was "mrblonde2020" coming out on top to win the tournament for $7,940.59. "mrblonde2020" began the final table in the middle of the pack but built up throughout the final table. Still, he always seemed to be behind "Mummy's Bitch", who was the chip leader for much of the final table.

However, during heads-up play "mrblonde2020" came on strong despite starting down 2:1 in chips. A couple of doubles saw him take over the chip lead, and not long after it was over when both players flopped two pair, with the kicker making all the difference.

"zhatka" Wins Opening Event

NJCOOP Event 1 Final Hand

It took just under seven hours of play for the first NJCOOP to finish out, and "zhatka" took home the lion's share of the prizepool, $4,467.47, after a deal with his heads up opponent, "Chalmisi6." Those two players were two parts of a big three at the top of the chip counts when the final table started, and they would stay near the top throughout.

"Chalmisi6" started heads-up play with "zhatka" at a heavy disadvantage, but he was able to score a number of double-ups, before ultimately taking the lead for a bit. At that point, the two players made a deal, and form that point on, it was once again the "zhatka" show.

On the final hand, "Chalmisi6" would get his final eight big blinds in good, but a lucky seven on the river gave "zhatka" the title.
