Event Info
The latest NJSCOOP final table is in the books, and it was thoroughly decimated by the eventual winner, ��st0neyDanza��. They were one of two players over one million chips when play got down to the final two tables, and they held the chip lead when just nine remained.
They would add to their chip lead by scoring the first three eliminations of the final table. First, they busted short stack ��bkglancy�� in ninth place, after they shoved from the cutoff, only to see ��st0neyDanza�� call with a dominating hand in the small blind.
The next player to fall to ��st0neyDanza�� was Michael ��mikeyeager�� Yeager. It was a big coin flip at the time, with Yeager holding pocket tens, while "st0neyDanza" had 
. The flop was no help, but a king on the turn quickly gave "st0neyDanza" the massive lead, which would hold on the river.
"CGarcia7125" was next to hit the virtual payout desk. They lost nearly all of their chips to "TrumpsDong", when they got unlucky with pocket kings. They would lose their final few chips on the last hand, with "st0neyDanza" once again laying claim to the bounty.
The momentum didn't last long for "TrumpsDong", who would bow out in sixth place not long after. They would commit most of their chips on the flop with bottom pair, but were no match for the pocket kings of "kid741."
"Kid741" would continue with the knockouts when they busted "jabjr95" in a blind vs blind situation. "jabjr95" would get unlucky, as their pocket nines could not fade the Ace-Four held by "kid741."
Fourth place would belong to "IGOTCRABZ_33", who didn't get involved in too many hands throughout the final table. They busted to the Ace-Queen of "kid741" who completed the hat trick of eliminations after flopping a queen to all but seal the hand.
The eliminations would keep coming, but this time, "kid741" was on the wrong end of things. They were down to under ten big blinds after doubling up "LynnaStars," and they would get those chips in preflop, trailing "st0neyDanza." Neither player would improve, and the ace high was good enough to get "st0neyDanza" to the heads up battle that had been assured for quite some time.
"LynnaStars" was able to draw things virtually even before losing the lead to "st0neyDanza." Then, they slow played pocket queens preflop, and by the turn, "st0neyDanza" had made two pair. They would fill up on the river to crack the monster hand held by "LynnaStars", who would have to settle for the runner up prize of $4,783.01.

"TrumpsDong" looked to be out the door on the very next hand, when they got their final chips in holding Ace-Queen, only to run into the pocket kings of ��CGarcia7125." The flop would miss completely, but an ace on the turn would flip the script, leaving ��CGarcia7125�� with less than a big blind.
