2020 NJCOOP Main Event Final Table Results

On Monday night, "DabledoreNJ" won the 2020 New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) Main Event for $22,444 after outlasting a field of 422 over two days of poker. The tournament put the cherry on top of the 54-event series, which catered to 9,350 entrants and awarded $1,125,973.30 in prize money.

Fifty-two entered play on Monday night set to pick up where they left off on Sunday's Day 1. "DabledoreNJ" started the day with a top-10 stack and quickly rose to the top of the counts within the first half-hour of play. By the first break of the night, they had taken their stack of 1.3 million up to 3.6 million as the field had nearly halved with just 28 remaining.

An hour later, the field had nearly halved again as 15 remained. By that time, "DabledoreNJ" increased their stack to 8.49 million, more than the next two players in the counts combined. Play then slowed for a bit with just three eliminations occurring over 50 minutes of play, but three more followed in rapid-rapid fire and "DabledoreNJ" took the chip lead into the nine-handed final table.

The final table lineup was one that included the likes of Day 1 chip leader Shankar "Burgersssss" Pillai and Ryan "hagz2richez" Hagerty, but they wound up falling in eighth and seventh place, respectively. During that time, "st0neydanza" took the chip lead for a brief period, but "DabledoreNJ" reclaimed it after two-plus levels of four-handed play and never looked back as they proceeded to knock out all three of the remaining players in the tournament over the next two levels to earn the top prize and title of 2020 NJCOOP Main Event Champion.

It marked the player's second title of the 2020 NJCOOP after having won NJCOOP 25: $100 NLHE [Marathon], $10K Gtd for $2,778.23.
