PokerStars NJ, which is presenting the popular New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) series, said the winners have so far been awarded more than $655,000.

NJCOOP is halfway complete. The series began on September 10 and will run through September 27. So will similar series being run at the same time in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the other two states where PokerStars operates.

More than $2.9 million has been awarded so far to online players in all three state series. That includes about $980,000 awarded in Michigan at the MICOOP and more than $1.27 million in Pennsylvania at PACOOP.

  • $150 in free funds
  • Great tournament schedule
  • Excellent player traffic

Two-day Main Events starting this Sunday, September 26, will be the last event for all three COOP series.

The buy-in for the Main Event costs $300 for each series, but the guaranteed prize pools are not the same across the board. NJCOOP players will compete for $100,000 in guaranteed prize money, while the guarantee is $150,000 at MICOOP and $200,000 at PACOOP. Every series is ring-fenced, which means that New Jersey players will only play against other players in the Garden State.

There are still ways to avoid paying the expensive buy-in. PokerStars is also offering Main Event tickets through $3 Spin & Go’s at each series. Another active promotion is the Second Chance Freeroll, which offers players who bust before winning cash in any COOP event the opportunity to win tickets to the Main Event.

PokerStars is also offering a Depositor Freeroll on September 26. New Jersey players who deposit at least $30 using the promo code NJCOOP will receive one entry into the freeroll. The top 50 finishers in NJCOOP will win seats to the Main Event; PokerStars is offering tickets collectively valued at $15,000 to the final event.

Two players have each won three events

Thirty-five of the 60 events scheduled for NJCOOP were completed as of Monday. The series has attracted more than 5,800 entries, according to PokerStars NJ.

To date, three players—“kyleorto86,” “Stonniepokes” and “Tagubhai”—have each won two NJCOOP events, while two other players, “cncly1314” and “MisAnntrh0pe,” have each won three. PokerStars NJ added that cncly1314 and MisAnntrh0pe won tournaments on back-to-back nights.

The operator said kyleorto86, Stonniepokes and a third player, “monkeyman067,” have been awarded NJCOOP trophies. Four trophies are yet to be awarded.
