On Monday, the 2020 PokerStars Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP) came to an end with the conclusion of the $300 buy-in, $200K GTD Main Event, a tournament that attracted 1,013 entries and offered up a $283,640 prize pool. When the dust settled, it was "LetMeWin3437" who took home the title, earning $46,319.13 for his incredible finish.
It marked his second title in as many days after he topped a 346-entry field on Sunday to win Event #45: $100 NLHE [PKO], $30K GTD for $5,490.84.
"LetMeWin3437" almost didn't make it to the Main Event final table, as he won a massive three-way all-in with pocket queens, coming from behind against both pocket kings and aces.
"LetMeWin3437" started the final table with a massive chip lead, and he would hold that lead wire-to-wire at this final table. He laid low for the first few eliminations, before he knocked out "ChrundleTheGr8" in sixth place, and from there, his foot was constantly on the gas pedal.
He would score the next knockout as well, busting "ryan.lamb713" in a massive pot, where "ryan.lamb713" flopped top pair top kicker, but was trailing the whole way against a set of eights for "LetMeWin3437."
"LetMeWin3437" started heads up play with a 3:1 chip lead, and it only took a few hands for him to claim the final chips. The two players got all the chips in preflop, and by the river, "LetMeWin3437" had made a flush to take home the title. Check out the full breakdown of the final table in the chart below.
