The 2018 NJSCOOP<\/strong> came to a close on Monday after 17-day series that included 40 high and 40 low buy-in events.<\/p>\n The New Jersey<\/strong>\u00a0version of SCOOP promised to be \u201cNJ\u2019s richest tournament series ever\u201d with guarantees of over $1.3 million.<\/p>\n It looks like PokerStars<\/strong> lived up to its promise with total prize pools totally over $1.5 million, more than $200,000 more than was guaranteed.<\/p>\n Of the 80 total events, only four high and six low buy-in events failed to meet the guarantee.<\/p>\n It was mostly the mixed games that had an overlay. The only game to miss its guarantee in both the high and low version was Event #34: Limit Stud H\/L<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The largest turnout was for Event #37 \u2013 Low: $50 NLH Main Event<\/strong>. The 1,173 entries produced a prize pool of $53,371.50, over $13,000 more than what was guaranteed.<\/p>\n One of the tournaments that fell short was Event #37 \u2013 High: $500 NLH, 2-Day Main Event<\/strong>. It had a guarantee of $200,000 and fell short of its guarantee by $4,010. Even so, it still had 416 entries. You can still catch a replay of the final table on the PokerStarsNJ client.<\/p>\n With 70 of the 80 events exceeding its guarantee, NJSCOOP continues to prove itself as one of, if not the most popular online tournament series in New Jersey.<\/p>\n As is often the case with online poker tournaments, it can be hard to see who is having a good series. Well, one player has a hard time flying under the radar regardless of where he is playing.<\/p>\n Chris \u201cMoney800NJ\u201d Moneymaker<\/strong>, often credited with igniting the poker boom after his 2003 WSOP Main Event win, is recognized whenever he sits down at a poker table \u2013 both online and in person.<\/p>\n Streaming his series and tweeting about it makes it impossible to elude the headlines. As it turns out, this past weekend was headline worthy for the PokerStars pro.<\/p>\n Pretty decent night on @PokerStarsNJ<\/a> stream<\/p>\n 1st in $200 stud 8NJSCOOP 2018 is one for the record books<\/span><\/h2>\n
