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