New Jersey's "bernstreg" climbed his way to the top of a 99-player field in the NJCOP #13: $50,000 GTD NLH 6-Max High Roller for an $11,250 payday. "Mistythedog" took home $7,725 for finishing in second place in this event, and George "glytterpyss" Cicak won $6,300 for finishing in third place.

Second place in the Spring Poker Series Main Event went to "nomercy03" for an $8,397 payday, while "RIP_Neiko" won $5,236 for finishing in third place.
