Shankar “Burgersssss” Pillai Leads the Final 52 in the NJCOOP Main Event
The first day of the 2020 NJCOOP has finished, and the chip leader is Shankar “Burgersssss” Pillai. He will bring in 2,444,201 chips into play tomorrow. "angel zera" is the only other player over two million in chips. These two are on top of the list of 52 players who have moved on to tomorrow's finals, which will be starting up at 7 PM ET.
Arguably the biggest hand of the night for Pillai came when he won over a million chips with an underpair to the board. In that hand, Pillai called a big bet on the flop and turn, before taking it down on the river.
A few other notables who will be joining Pillai tomorrow are Dan "monkeyman067" Sewnig (870,629), Dan "AvaGray" Lupo (779,375), Sanjeev "sandman9876" Datta (541,244), Daniel "loxonbagel" Buzgon (476858), and Mike “mmenz08816” Menzer (230,636).
