Jennifer Shahade
Jennifer Shahade

Back in April 2020, PokerStars PA held the first-ever PASCOOP. At the time, the site had been playing around with its guarantee for its biggest event of the week, the Sunday Special going from $40,000 to $100,000 back down to $50,000 one week.

Then, on April 5, it was settled on a $100 buy-in, $70K GTD when PokerStars PA Ambassador Jen "JenShahadePA" Shahade claimed the title and made headlines in the poker world.

Big Slick Does Not Do the Trick for "Deuce9off"

Level 11 (600/1,200/150)

"RealizeRealLies" raised to 2,400 under the gun and "POTLORD420" called two spots over. "Deuce9off" then three-bet all in for 7,019 from the cutoff and action folded back to "RealizeRealLies", who called. "POTLORD420" did the same and the flop came down {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

"RealizeRealLies" bet 4,800 and then called off the 15,869 behind when "POTLORD420" moved all in.

"POTLORD420": {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
"RealizeRealLies": {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}
"Deuce9off": {k-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The {2-Diamonds} appeared on the turn followed by the {4-Diamonds} on the river, which meant "RealizeRealLies" and "POTLORD420" chopped it while "Deuce9off" hit the rail.
