In Level 7 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, "1st.p1ace" opened the action with a raise to 1,320 in middle position and "Hustle_Man93" three-bet to 4,200 in the hijack. Frank "thewholefunk" Funaro was in the small blind and cold four-bet to 10,800, prompting action to fold back to "Hustle_Man93" who five-bet jammed for 24,865. Funaro called.

"Hustle_Man93": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Frank "thewholefunk" Funaro: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Funaro's aces were best and the runout {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} gave him no sweat, earning him the pot and sending "Hustle_Man93" to re-enter.

NJSCOOP 2021

It's time for another night of action for the 2021 PokerStars New Jersey Spring Championship of Online Poker (NJSCOOP), with the capstone event of Event #36-H: $200 NLHE [Super Tuesday], $17.5K Gtd set to begin at 8 p.m. ET.

Registration is open for all in the state of New Jersey, with this evening's NJSCOOP episode of the weekly "Super Tuesday" event being the second of the series. A week ago to the day, "ACE"10276 topped a field of 145 in last week's similar version, earning $5,590 for their efforts as the overall prize pool of $26,970, which beat its identical guarantee by more than 50%.

Players receive starting stacks of 25,000 with blinds beginning at 80/160 (20 ante) and escalating every 12 minutes all tournament long. Late registration is open for three hours and 15 minutes, closing roughly near the end of Level 15 (1,250/2,500/325). Should players need, up to five re-entries are available during that time frame, meaning every player may fire a total of six bullets into this event.

PokerNews will be on hand to provide updates on all the action until just one player remained, so be sure to stick around.
