With over $1 million in guaranteed money up for grabs, WSOP.com’s Coast to Coast Classic II (C2CCII) offered players in poker’s ‘Regulated States of America’ another chance to play for big money without having to set up shop outside of the USA.

PocketFivers from Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware battled against each other from August 3-12 in the 36-event series. The Main Event was one of the larger online tournaments held inside the USA since Black Friday carrying a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool. With so much up for grabs, it’s no wonder that a number of PocketFives members took up the challenge and padded their bankrolls.

Here are just a few of the players who found success during the series.

Michael ‘Gags30’ Gagliano

One of New Jersey’s premier poker players, Michael ‘Gags30’ Gagliano crushed during Coast to Coast II, taking home more than his fair share of the series $1 million guarantee. Playing under his WSOP.com screen name ‘itWasThatOr0’, Gagliano secured two five-figure scores, both over $30,000.

First up for Gagliano was a victory in Event #9, the $100,000 No Limit Hold’em Sunday Special for just over $36,000. ‘Gags’ then parlayed his victory into Event #16, the $85,000 No Limit Hold’em High Roller. He took that one down too for another $32,403.

Gagliano only registered three total cashes for the series, however earning the victory in the two largest tournaments outside of the Main Event brought him a total of $68,659.

He currently sits as the #5-ranked player inside the United States.

He then joined Gagliano at the final table of Event #16 where he picked up an additional $11,174 for his fourth-place finish. Borenstein wrapped the series earning just over $20,000.

Nevada’s hottest online poker player and the current #2-ranked player in the United States, David ‘bewater’ Goodman continued his heater this August. Goodman only cashed in four different events and three of the cashes were for four-figures. Impressively, two of his results ended up being second place finishes.
