"Hondoribbia" Wins PACOOP Main Event for $36,401
On Monday evening, the 2021 PokerStars Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP) came to an end with the conclusion of the $300 buy-in, $200K GTD Main Event, a tournament that attracted 851 entries and offered up a $238,230 prize pool. When the dust settled, it was "Hondoribbia" who took home the title, earning $36,401 for their first-place finish.
Thirty-seven hopefuls entered play on Monday night and picked up where they left off after Sunday's Day 1. "mlf5135" started the day as the chip leader while the eventual champ held a top five stack to start the day. Both players stayed atop the leaderboard after nearly half the field was sent out as there were just 22 remaining an hour into the final day.
An hour later, the field had nearly halved again as 12 remained. By that time, "and_porter" held the chip lead with "Hondoribbia" sat in the middle of the pack. The rapid-fire pace of eliminations continued with "and_porter" eliminating "1Boomswitch" in 10th place setting the stage for the final table.

Final Table Action
The final table lineup saw "and_porter" sit atop the chip counts while eventual champ "Hondoribbia" sat near the bottom. "Yuli215" began the final table second to the bottom of the counts so it was no surprise to see them bounce in ninth place after their ace-nine off was dominated by the Big Slick of "ecerille".
"and_porter" went on a little elimination spree and extended their chip lead after they dropped "FindingNemo32" in eighth place, then "P0stFl0pMal0ne" in seventh place.
Six-handed action saw the chips shuffle, as runner-up finisher "queenbee842" went on an elimination spree of their own, sending "MishkaMan85" home in sixth place while "ecerille" fell in fifth place and it was at this point when "queenbee842" held over half of the chips in play.
With "queenbee842" holding over half the chips in play with only four players remaining, it looked like it was their title to claim but "Hondoribbia" had different plans, as they eliminated their final three opponents and claimed the 2021 PACOOP Main Event Champion title along with a $36,401 payday.
