On Tuesday night, the 2021 New Jersey Spring Championship of Online Poker (NJSCOOP) played host to Event #14-H: $200 NLHE [Super Tuesday], $17.5K GTD. The guaranteed prize pool was met two-thirds of the way through the late registration period, and a total of 145 entries had been recorded when registration closed, generating a prize pool of $26,970 set to be paid to the top 20 finishers.

Six hours and a handful of minutes after play began, "ACE"10276 was the one to call themselves champion, earning the first-place prize of $5,590 to go along with the prestigious NJSCOOP title.

""ACE"10276" was seen at or near the top of the leader board as early as Level 12 and remained there largely all tournament long, entering the final table third in chips. After eliminating the short-stacked Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez in sixth place, they found themselves in the middle of the pack. By the final break of the night, they were second in chips with three remaining.

When the break finished, ""ACE"10276" was dealt two aces on the very first hand back and got their full stack in against at-the-time chip leader "IGOTCRABZ_33", who had ace-king suited. A few hands later, "IGOTCRABZ_33" ran sixes into the sevens of "JohnnyMania" to take third, and heads-up play only lasted a few short minutes before ""ACE"10276" finished things off in style by besting jack-nine offsuit with pocket kings to win it all.

Jake "MoZZyNJ" Dynes: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
"JohnnyMania": {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} looked as if it were going to give Dynes exactly what he needed, but the turn {q-Hearts} just as quickly left him with just two outs.

"IGOTCRABZ_33": {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The flop {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades} gave Madara nothing more than a few gutshot draws, but the turn {j-Hearts} left him with a clear 12 outs to the river. Unfortunately for him, they all missed on {3-Spades} and he was eliminated in fifth place as a result.
