While many of New Jersey's big-name players, including last week's big winner and 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold-bracelet winner Michael Gagliano, were across the country playing in the WSOP Main Event, players turned out in respectable numbers to play online at regulated poker rooms in the Garden State.

Jason "TiltedHard" Lawhun was Sunday's biggest winner thanks to shipping the PokerStars NJ Sunday Special, $50,000 Gtd for $10,750. Also scoring big in this tournament were Daniel "AvaGray" Lupo (2nd - $7,750), Mitch "TrumpsDong" Friedberg (3rd - $5,875), and Josh "Superflu0us1" Rosengarten (8th - $1,500).
