“The global PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) is one of the must-play poker events of the year,” said Chris Moneymaker, a legendary figure in poker and a member of Team PokerStars Pro. “It’s awesome that it’s coming to New Jersey so that players in the region can experience the exciting tournament structures and the thrill that comes with chasing a major tournament title and big prize money. I can’t wait to play in the first NJSCOOP and I plan to stream most of my play live on Twitch. I would love to win a title in its debut year.”

PLAYER OF THE SERIES LEADERBOARD
PokerStars NJSCOOP players can also compete for Leader Board prizes and the Player of the Series award, with points awarded on a sliding scale for cashing in events.
