On Monday night, "DabledoreNJ" won the 2020 New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) Main Event for $22,444 after outlasting a field of 422 over two days of poker. The tournament put the cherry on top of the 54-event series, which catered to 9,350 entrants and awarded $1,125,973.30 in prize money.
Fifty-two entered play on Monday night set to pick up where they left off on Sunday's Day 1. "DabledoreNJ" started the day with a top-10 stack and quickly rose to the top of the counts within the first half-hour of play. By the first break of the night, they had taken their stack of 1.3 million up to 3.6 million as the field had nearly halved with just 28 remaining.
An hour later, the field had nearly halved again as 15 remained. By that time, "DabledoreNJ" increased their stack to 8.49 million, more than the next two players in the counts combined. Play then slowed for a bit with just three eliminations occurring over 50 minutes of play, but three more followed in rapid-rapid fire and "DabledoreNJ" took the chip lead into the nine-handed final table.
The final table lineup was one that included the likes of Day 1 chip leader Shankar "Burgersssss" Pillai and Ryan "hagz2richez" Hagerty, but they wound up falling in eighth and seventh place, respectively. During that time, "st0neydanza" took the chip lead for a brief period, but "DabledoreNJ" reclaimed it after two-plus levels of four-handed play and never looked back as they proceeded to knock out all three of the remaining players in the tournament over the next two levels to earn the top prize and title of 2020 NJCOOP Main Event Champion.
It marked the player's second title of the 2020 NJCOOP after having won NJCOOP 25: $100 NLHE [Marathon], $10K Gtd for $2,778.23.

On the very next hand following the double earned by "st0neydanza", "DabledoreNJ" raised to 770,000 on the button and "st0neydanza" defended their big blind.
The flop came 
and "st0neydanza" checked. "DabledoreNJ" made a continuation-bet of 554,000 and "st0neydanza" check-raised to 2.33 million. "DabledoreNJ" three-bet shoved and "st0neydanza" called all in for 12.28 million.
"st0neydanza": 
"DabledoreNJ": 
"st0neydanza" had gotten all of their chips into the middle after flopping top pair only to see that they had run into a set of jacks. The turn 
brought eight possible chop outs to stay alive, but none fell on the river 
and the pot was sent to "DabledoreNJ", who became the 2020 NJCOOP Main Event champion as "st0neydanza" finished in second for $16,456.
A recap of the event will follow shortly, so be sure to stick around.

"st0neydanza" was on the button and open-jammed for 6.5 million. "DabledoreNJ" called in the big blind.
"st0neydanza": 
"DabledoreNJ": 
"DabledoreNJ" was five cards away from the title and needed to fade just a three outer in order to earn it. The flop came 
, leaving "st0neydanza" with just two chances left at a three outer to stay alive. However, they would only need one of those two as the turn 
put them ahead with a pair of deuces that remained best as the river 
completed the runout.

Hand #1: Jaime "moosedeer17" Reyes pumped it up to 600,000 in the cutoff and action folded around to "laura33188" in the big blind, who three-bet shoved for 1.67 million. Reyes called.
"laura33188":
Jaime "moosedeer17" Reyes: 
The first card of the runout was the prettiest card in the deck, and all five cards quickly appeared 
to earn "laura33188" the double and bring them over 3.6 million.
Hand #2: Six hands later, "laura33188" had chipped up to 5.8 million from a few preflop pots and shoved all in on the button. "DabledoreNJ" called in the big blind.
"laura33188":
"DabledoreNJ": 
"laura33188" found no real help on the flop

to end their tournament run in fourth place.
