Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski Wins $3,619 in NJSCOOP Event #16-H Via Heads-Up Deal

Stanton Tentnowski
Stanton Tentnowski

Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski can call himself the most recent PokerStars New Jersey Spring Championship of Online Poker (NJSCOOP) champion, taking down Event #16-H via heads-up chop for $3,619.

Tentnowski outlasted a field of 82 to reach the top, with his victory coming by way of a heads-up match that lasted just four hands with runner-up Ross "rosseg" Gottlieb. The two were agreeable partners to a three-way deal with eventual third-place finisher st0neydanza, but the latter did not wish to partake. After heads-up play was reached and a deal was struck that left $250 on the table, Gottlieb got ace-ten all in preflop against Tentnowski's pocket jacks and that was all she wrote.

In Level 24 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, action folded to "Batzz88" in the small blind and they shoved for 114,266. "Dkornblau" called in the big blind.

"Batzz88": {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
"Dkornblau": {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

"Batzz88" needed to hit a set and instead watched the flop {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} give "Dkornblau" such a holding. They were left needing to hit running spades or running quads to double, or for the board to bring a straight to chop. Aall of those hopes were dashed on the turn {2-Hearts}, leaving them drawing dead to the river {10-Diamonds} to bring about their fifth-place finish in the tournament.

"pompii23": {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades} gave "pompii23" an excellent shot at doubling twice in short succession, but a running turn {j-Spades} and river {j-Hearts} put "st0neydanza" back on top, improving them to trips and eliminating "pompii23" from the tournament in sixth place.
