The final day of the 2023 US Championship of Online Poker (USCOOP) is set to kick off today with Day 2 of Event #81: $300 NLHE Main Event playing down to a champion tonight. While the main event will certainly be the focus of the day, there will be four other events running alongside the championship event on PokerStarsNJ.com, all of which will play down to a winner before night's end, officially marking the close of a very successful 2023 USCOOP series.
The Main Event drew a total of 1,194 entries and created a staggering prize pool of $334,320 with a massive $52,577 first-place prize going to the champion. On top of the title and the first-place prize money, the eventual winner will also be awarded a $20,000 2023 NAPT Golden Pass Package, granting nine nights of luxury travel and lodging accommodation and a seat in the 2023 NAPT $5,300 High Roller which works out to be quite the cherry on top for whoever ends up standing alone when the final card is dealt.
Coming back to the biggest stack will be "olim324", who returns to 15,143,581 chips to aid in their pursuit of victory. There will be no easy path to the winner's circle, though, as there are numerous tough players looking to navigate their own way to the title. Notable roadblocks for anyone attempting to beeline it to the championship include absolute crusher Benji "OtB_RedHeron" Felson (6,530,720), along with Stanton "stonniepokes" Tentnowski, who comes back to the second biggest stack (14,196,028) and PokerStars Ambassador David "DavidKayePoker" Kaye (3,595,496), both of whom have already locked up USCOOP titles this series.
