It took just under seven hours of play for the first NJCOOP to finish out, and "zhatka" took home the lion's share of the prizepool, $4,467.47, after a deal with his heads up opponent, "Chalmisi6." Those two players were two parts of a big three at the top of the chip counts when the final table started, and they would stay near the top throughout.
It was "Chalmisi6" who would be the first to jump out to the top. First, he eliminated "nickybrunson" in a big pair preflop cooler. Then, just a few hands later, he would eliminate Mike ��mmenz08816�� Menzer in 6th place.
However, not long after that, "zhatka" would double up through "Chalmisi6" with pocket aces, and he wouldn't look back from there.
First, he would eliminate Sanjeev "sandman9876" Datta in 5th place, where he also happened to have pocket aces once again. From that point on, "zhatka" would score every elimination.
"Chalmisi6" started heads up play with "zhatka" at a heavy disadvantage, but he was able to score a number of double ups, before ultimately taking the lead for a bit. At that point, the two players made a deal, and form that point on, it was once again the "zhatka" show.
On the final hand, "Chalmisi6" would get his final eight big blinds in good, but a lucky seven on the river gave "zhatka" the title.
For his efforts, "zhatka" will take home $4,467.47, and the first 2020 NJCOOP title! Scroll down for a full breakdown of the final table results.
