New PokerStarsNJ.com player celebrates $100k win and sister’s engagement all in one night

ONCHAN, Isle of Man – February 2017 – A New Jersey family added a fantastic $100,000 Spin & Go win on top of engagement celebrations, all in one exciting evening on PokerStarsNJ.com, an Amaya Inc. (NASDAQ: AYA; TSX: AYA) brand.

James Piccolo, the baby of the family at 27-years old, signed up to play PokerStars three days ahead of his win when visiting his parents in New Jersey. Piccolo has been playing poker for a number of years and recently moved to Las Vegas to seek his fortune playing live poker, but this was the first time he had played Spin & Go on PokerStarsNJ.com. Piccolo had just played a few games using the User ID of ‘VaderWolf’ before the $120,000 jackpot prize pool lit up his screen. He couldn’t believe his eyes and called all his family to watch as the game played out. He won the three-handed turbo tournament and won the $100,000 first place prize.

Piccolo’s win was not the only good news that night. It was a double celebration as his sister came home to announce her engagement too.
