The series offers buy-ins ranging from as low as $5 up to $1,000 and is comprised of 96 events that offer a combined $1.2 million in guaranteed prize pools, up from a smooth million the year before.
The series consists of 48 different tournaments – including no-limit hold’em, Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, and Mixed Games – each with a high and low buy-in tier for a total of 96 events. Things will get underway on Saturday, April 11 with the $100 buy-in, $20K GTD Warm-Up.
Other highlights on the schedule include a $500 buy-in, $17,500 GTD 8-Game on Wednesday, April 15; $350 buy-in, $50K GTD Sunday Special on April 19; and a $1,000 buy-in, $45K GTD High Roller 6-Max on Tuesday, April 21.
The stop will culminate with a $300 buy-in, $100K GTD Main Event on Sunday, April 26. Meanwhile, the $50 buy-in, $30K GTD “Low” Main Event will take place on the same date. Last year, Anthony “FlawlessBINK” Maio topped a 254-entry field to win the $500 buy-in Main Event for nearly $25,000.

Extra-Curricular Events
In addition to the NJSCOOP schedule, there will be some other events including a $9K GTD Main Event Depositor Freeroll on April 26, which will award 30 seats to the $300 High Main Event.
If freerolls are your thing, there will be several daily $1,000 Second Chance All-In Shootout Freerolls open to NJSCOOP players who bust before the money. Those players will be automatically entered, so even if they’re not online they’ll have a chance to win given the all-in shootout format.
Toss in NJSCOOP Special Edition $3 Spin and Go’s, which are running now through April 26, and players will have plenty of opportunities to win.
