With blinds of 200/400 and bets of 400/800, "TobogganM.D" limped in from under the gun, Lance "flycoolj" Mesler raised to 800 from the button and "SlaynEryDay" re-raised to 1,200 from the big blind, both opponents called.

"SlaynEryDay" bet 800, Mesler called once again and the {6-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. "SlaynEryDay" solwed down and checked their option only to fold after Mesler fired out 800.

Th 2020 NJCOOP continues Friday night on PokerStars NJ and players will have the opportunity to showcase their mixed-game skillsets, as Event #20: $200 8-GAME, $12.5K GTD gets underway at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Six fixed-limit games of 2-7 Triple Draw and the five found within the H.O.R.S.E. discipline will be joined by the popular big-bet games of No-Limit Hold'em (NLH) and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO). Each game in the mix will get five minutes of play through a 40-minute rotation.

Players receive 25,000 to start with blinds beginning at 125/250 and levels of 250/500 for fixed-limit games and 90/180 for big-bet games. Late registration is available for three hours and five minutes, closing at 10:35 p.m. ET, and each player is allowed unlimited re-entries during that period.

It'll be accompanied by a smaller $50 No-Limit Hold'em Mini Main Event, with a $25,000 guarantee.

Players who enjoy non-hold'em formats will also have plenty to choose from. There are several pot-limit Omaha events, including a $500 six-max high roller. There's even $100 Pot-Limit Badugi, $100 H.O.R.S.E. and $100 5-Card PLO.

PokerStars NJ is also committed to giving frustrated players extra value via freeroll tickets. Those who get eliminated shy of the money will be given tickets into events awarding more NJCOOP seats.
