Don't Miss Out on the PokerStars New Jersey Spring Championship of Online Poker (NJSCOOP)

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

As the PASCOOP wraps up, the series' New Jersey counterpart – PokerStars New Jersey Spring Championship of Online Poker (NJSCOOP) – is happening now.

The NJSCOOP began on April 11 and will run through the 27th. That has resulted in 10 days of overlap meaning there has been plenty of online action taking place on the East Coast.

The NJSCOOP offers buy-ins ranging from as low as $5 up to $1,000 and is comprised of 96 events that offer a combined $1.2 million in guaranteed prize pools, up from a smooth million the year before. The series consists of 48 different tournaments – including no-limit hold’em, Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, and Mixed Games – each with a high and low buy-in tier for a total of 96 events.

The series will culminate with a $300 buy-in, $100K GTD Main Event on Sunday, April 26. Meanwhile, the $50 buy-in, $30K GTD “Low” Main Event will take place on the same date. Last year, Anthony “FlawlessBINK” Maio topped a 254-entry field to win the $500 buy-in Main Event for nearly $25,000.

If you're going to be in New Jersey and want to play, it's easy!

Extra-Curricular Events

In addition to the NJSCOOP schedule, there will be some other events including a $9K GTD Main Event Depositor Freeroll on April 26, which will award 30 seats to the $300 High Main Event.

If freerolls are your thing, there will be several daily $1,000 Second Chance All-In Shootout Freerolls open to NJSCOOP players who bust before the money. Those players will be automatically entered, so even if they’re not online they’ll have a chance to win given the all-in shootout format.

Toss in NJSCOOP Special Edition $3 Spin and Go’s, which are running now through April 26, and players will have plenty of opportunities to win.
