It's Time to Crown a Champion in NJCOOP Event #52: $300 NLHE Main Event
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.
