The final day of the 2021 New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) is here, and with it comes the final day of play in NJCOOP Event #52: $300 NLHE Main Event. From a starting field of 334 entrants, just 15 return for today's Day 2 action, which kicks off at 6 p.m. EST.
Leading the pack is Sridhar "sri100k" Sangannagari, who brings back a stack of over eighty big blinds to begin play. The talented online grinder from New Jersey has a healthy lead over second-place "pompii23", and Jaime "moosedeer17" Reyes rounds out the top three. The rest of the field all sit in a tightly bunched group between sixteen and twenty-seven big blinds, except for short stack newport_kangbaz, who will have some work to do with a starting stack of just seven big blinds.
