New Jersey Weekend Tournament Review for May 12, 2014
This weekend on the virtual felts of New Jersey online poker, there were a number of PocketFivers who made multiple final tables. La_Flama_Blan27 (rimmer27on PocketFives) made back-to-back final tables in the $10,000 Guarantee nightly on PartyPoker/Borgata Poker. He finished in fourth place on both Saturday and Sunday for a total of $1,887.
EDESS2took down the $50,000 Guarantee Sunday Major on Party/Borgata for $8,559 after chopping heads-up.
Having a very productive Sunday was Frank Molinari (fnasty97on PocketFives, pictured) who made the final table of three Sunday majors. He came in sixth in the 888 PokerBig Sunday $10,000 Guarantee, eighth in the WSOP.com$25,000 Guarantee, and sixth in the Ultimate Poker $20,000 Guarantee for a total of $2,763. This follows up the three final tables he made during the week. Molinari has over $63,000 in recorded online cashes, which includes a third place finish in the WSOP.com $25,000 Guarantee on March 30 for $2,603.
Winning the 888 Poker Big Sunday $10,000 Guarantee was Lucky5, who pocketed the top prize of $3,200.
On WSOP.com, the start time for the $25,000 Guarantee Sunday Major changed from 6:00pm to 3:00pm. This may have contributed to a field of only 75 players and resulted in a $10,000 overlay. In the end, it was Patrick Shelley (my2chis on PocketFives) who was victorious, taking home $7,250.
Shelley also made the final table of the Party/Borgata $10,000 Guarantee on Saturday, where he finished third for $1,309. Brian Willis (WillisNYC on PocketFives) accompanied Shelley in the final tables of the Party/Borgata $10,000 Guarantee and WSOP $25,000 Guarantee.
Jake Schafer (schaf4206 on PocketFives) took down the WSOP.com $10,000 Guarantee on Friday for $2,750 and also finished seventh the Party/Borgata $10,000 Guarantee on Saturday.
Winning the WSOP.com $10,000 Weekly Sunday Guarantee was Justin Wong (PocketProfits on PocketFives, pictured), banking $2,968. Wong also took down the Ultimate Poker $5,000 Guarantee on Sunday night, winning $1,550. Wong, who just recently joined PocketFives, has over $6,000 in live recorded cashes.
Notching a victory in the Ultimate Poker $20,000 Guarantee was LuckySpewy (ykwon17 on PocketFives), who pocketed $4,918.
