Welcome to PokerStars PASCOOP Event #20-H: $200 NLHE (Sunday Special SE) $100K GTD

Our coverage of the PokerStars Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker (PASCOOP) 2021 continues tonight with Event #20-H: $200 NLHE (Sunday Special SE) $100K GTD, which will get underway at 18:00 ET.

Tonight's tournament starts players with 50,000 in tournament chips, and blinds start at 150/300 with a 40 ante. Levels are 12 minutes in length. A five-minute break will occur at :55 on the hour, every hour. Players may re-enter this tournament up to five times through the late registration period, which lasts until 21:05 a.m. ET.

The 2021 PASCOOP has been a big success thus far. Through 18 events (54 tournaments), 22,747 entrants have competed and $1,049,621 in prize money awarded. In addition, there have been five players who've captured two titles including "ActuallLy", "CancelChristmas", "KAP1316", "ChrundleTheGr8", and "thewhitesmith". Perhaps one of those players will become the first three-time winner tonight, but only time will tell.

Get to Know PokerStars PA Ambassador Keith "AccidentalGrenade" Becker

Keith Becker
Keith Becker

In early April, up-and-coming Pennsylvania-based Twitch streamer Keith ‘AccidentalGrenade’ Becker became a sponsored pro of PokerStars PA!

Becker fell in love with poker whilst playing with his friends. His competitive drive of not just wanting to win, but be the best, inspired him to take poker seriously.

Becker will be streaming on PokerStars PA, including 2021 PASCOOP events, and his aims are to break down the walls for those new to poker and bring more people to the game.

Early Pot for Brett "Homie Sr" Freiler

Level 3 (250/500/60)

Brett "Homie Sr" Freiler opened for 1,100 from early position and "MrMajic03" called from the hijack. "SQU0ZE" then three-bet to 4,500 from the cutoff and action folded back to Freiler, who called. "MrMajic03" got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop.

Freiler check-called a bet of 5,200 and then another one of 10,500 on the {10-Spades} turn.

When the {7-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, action went check-check and Freiler tabled the {q-Spades}{a-Spades} for top pair.

It was good as "SQU0ZE" mucked.

"Floydmustache" Hits the Rail

Level 3 (250/500/60)

"PurePleasure12" opened for 1,500 under the gun and "Floydmustache" raised all in for 2,640. Event 10-H: $200 NLHE [Super Tuesday SE], $25K GTD champ "RealizeRealLies" called from the cutoff and after the button and blinds all got out of the way, "PurePleasure12" made it 6,000 to go.

"RealizeRealLies" called and there was a side pot on the line. Both active players checked the {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop as well as the {5-Diamonds} turn, and then "PurePleasure12" bet 10,000 on the {k-Diamonds} river.

"RealizeRealLies" called only to much when "PurePleasure12" tabled the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for the flopped flush. "Floydmustache" mucked as well and was eliminated from the tournament.

"Archer1018" Misses the Mark

Level 4 (300/600/75)

"Faller195" limped under the gun and was met by an all-in raise to 7,238 from "Archer1018" two spots over. Action folded back to "Faller195" and they called.

"Faller195": {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
"Archer1018": {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {5-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Spades} flop gave "Faller195" a set, which meant when the {4-Hearts} appeared on the turn "Archer1018" was drawing dead. The meaningless {4-Spades} was run out on the river and "Archer1018" bowed out of the tournament.
