Eddy Mroczkowski started his week off strong at the 2021 Winter Open at bestbet Jacksonville. On Monday, Mroczkowski chopped Event #4: $160 NLH heads-up with Michael Cotter for $4,248 apiece after the two were the last ones standing from an initial 195 entries that amassed a total prize pool of $24,377.

The following day, he was right back in the thick of things in Event #5: $360 Monster Stack NLH, winning his second event in as many days in a five-way chop where he earned the top prize of $12,551. His prize was more than 18% of the total prize pool of $68,820 generated from 222 entries.

Jacksonville was well-represented at the final table in Event #4, with both Mroczkowski and Cotter being joined by Steve Zhang (3rd place) and Maria Elkaz (6th place) as residents of the River City. Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina were also represented at the final table, as was Jerusalem, Israel in that of seventh-place finisher Said Bishara.

Come Tuesday, a whole new cast had reached the final table along with Mroczkowski. This time, it was an all-American final table that saw everybody lock up at least $1,641. Sean Conklin was the first to fall once the final eight were reached, with Richard Swain (seventh place), and Alan Franco (sixth place) also earning a trip to the payouts before a five-way deal was reached.
