"snapcallzzz" Wins 2020 NJCOOP Event #27: $300 NLHE [Sunday Special SE], $50K GTD ($12,613.85)
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.
