Jeffrey "Jefffrr8" Reardon Becomes First-Ever ONCOOP Main Event Champion
Level 40
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 37,500 ante
Jeffrey "Jefffrr8" Reardon had a few close calls during the inaugural PokerStars Ontario Championship of Online Poker (ONCOOP), finishing in second in Event #8 and third in Event #47. But he saved his best for last.
Reardon emerged from a starting field of 724 players to win Event 61-L: $50 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event - Low] for $6,791.55.
Reardon is no stranger to finding success online. In 2019, he won a WCOOP event, outlasting a field of 5,803 for $16,499. His biggest score came back in May when he was third in a SCOOP event for $31,137. The Whitby native had $194,835.09 in career PokerStars before this event. Now he's made history as the first-ever PokerStars Ontario Main Event champion.
Final Table action
Day 2 of the Main Event began with 21 players remaining and Reardon in 10th place. He found himself near the bottom of the leaderboard on the final table bubble before rivering a straight against "SmartAcesGuy"'s set of jacks to double up and begin the nine-handed final table in third place with 5,155,248, behind "TAA66" and "hittinthebax."
On just the second hand of the final table, Reardon shoved the river in a pot against "SmartAcesGuy" to jump into the chip lead.
"rockgodd" was the first player to exit the final table, losing with tens against "RyCoSuave"'s ace-jack to finish in ninth place. "SmartAcesGuy" then doubled up with ace-king against "OV3R--WATCH"'s ace-nine. Left with just 500,000, "OV3R--WATCH" was eliminated a few hands later in eighth.
