The 2020 PokerStars Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP) finally came to a close and one of the big winners from the festival was “LetMeWin3437“, who took down the $300 buy-in Main Event. He outclassed a field of 1,013 entries to walk away with $46,319.13 in first-place prize.
As players battled it out to make it to the final table, “LetMeWin3437” was among the short stack but he managed to turn things around when he triumphed in a massive three-way all-in, giving him the lead through to the final table. The first three players to be eliminated were “love2playpoker” took 9th place for $3,120.35, “1Boomswitch” took 8th place for $4,371.65), and “goodfundies” took 7th place for $6,124.80.
During six-handed play, “LetMeWin3437” started to become more aggressive. He sent “ChrundleTheGr8” out in 6th place for $8,580.96 before finishing off “ryan.lamb713” in fifth place for $12,022.10. “Charityy1” finished fourth for $16,843.22, while “Lirek154” won $23,597.62 for finishing third. All throughout “LetMeWin3437” never relinquished his position, easily conquering heads-up play against “staxhagawd” who took home $33,060.73 for his runner-up finish.
It was a good outing for “LetMeWin3437” who entered the Main Event without paying for the full amount of the buy-in. He won a $20 satellite ticket via a Second Chance Freeroll. He later won a Main Event seat. Earlier in the tournament, he would go on to win Event #45: $100 NLHE [PKO] where he won $5,490.84 as the top prize.
Three Titles For “KennytheRipper”
Another player also took home multiple titles – Zach “KennytheRipper” Gruneberg triumphed in three events in less than a week: Event $25: $150 NLHE [6-Max], Event #38: $200 FLHE [6-Max], and Event #41: $75 NLHE [6-Max, Turbo]. He was able to take home almost $12,000 in combined winnings from those three events.
