Mesler Takes Pot from "SlaynEryDay"

Limit Hold'em

With blinds of 200/400 and bets of 400/800, "TobogganM.D" limped in from under the gun, Lance "flycoolj" Mesler raised to 800 from the button and "SlaynEryDay" re-raised to 1,200 from the big blind, both opponents called.

Once the {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop appeared, "SlaynEryDay" tossed out 400 and only Mesler called to see the {8-Hearts} turn.

"SlaynEryDay" bet 800, Mesler called once again and the {6-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. "SlaynEryDay" solwed down and checked their option only to fold after Mesler fired out 800.

Event Highlights

The NJCOOP series, which will run through October 26, features $1 million in total guarantees across 54 events.

The crown jewel of the series is of course the $300 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, which boasts a $125,000 guarantee. That one takes place Sunday, Oct. 25 at 5 p.m. local time.

It'll be accompanied by a smaller $50 No-Limit Hold'em Mini Main Event, with a $25,000 guarantee.

Players who enjoy non-hold'em formats will also have plenty to choose from. There are several pot-limit Omaha events, including a $500 six-max high roller. There's even $100 Pot-Limit Badugi, $100 H.O.R.S.E. and $100 5-Card PLO.

PokerStars NJ is also committed to giving frustrated players extra value via freeroll tickets. Those who get eliminated shy of the money will be given tickets into events awarding more NJCOOP seats.
