New Jersey poker player Paul "StacksGrande" Silva was the Garden State's biggest winner over the weekend, banking $10,800 after being the last man standing in the WSOP.com/888poker NJ Sunday $40,000 Guarantee. The runner-up in this tournament was Jesse "No_Xcape" Elliot, winning a healthy consolation prize of $6,300.

New Jersey's "MistaMenza" took second place in this tournament for $6,585. This tournament barely missed meeting its guarantee with 268 players entering, creating a small $420 overlay.
Meanwhile on 888poker NJ, it was "Iron_Lung" beating out a field of 39 players to win the Big Sunday for $3,500. The six players that cashed this tournament all benefited from the small field creating a sizable $2,785 overlay.
