The New Jersey online poker boom continues in October. PokerStars announced Thursday that Garden State Grinders can look forward to the New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) from Oct. 10-25.
Players can expect an overall $1 million guarantee across 54 events. That’s four more events than in 2019’s NJCOOP but with the same overall guarantee. If recent history continues, there’s a good chance that guarantee will be topped.
The PACOOP is currently running on the Pennsylvania PokerStars platform. Stars is now getting NJ players in the mix.
