SCOOP 2020: Adam Owen on Outlasting ‘All-Time End Boss’ ‘veeea’ Heads-Up To Win SCOOP-09-M

Level 6 : 2,250/4,500, 550 ante
Adam Owen
Adam Owen

It was Sunday, Day 2 of the 2020 Spring Championship of Online Poker Event 09-M, a $55 buy-in no-limit hold’em affair that had attracted no less than 7,898 total entries.

Adam “adamyid” Owen had survived the first day well enough to carry a decent stack into the final day. But a tough seat draw with Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez having position on him forced Owen to take the cautious route as he continued to navigate his way through the event.

“He was on my direct left, so I really couldn’t play many hands,” Owen explains. “I felt quite restricted, but maybe that helped me in that I didn’t quite get to go as hard as I usually might have done in that kind of tournament.”

Owen’s patience was rewarded as he made it to the last couple of tables, and even got to see Benitez fall in 22nd place. “With two or three tables left there were lots of really tough names,” says Owen. “I was happy to see some of those bust….”

“But having ‘veeea’ on the final table… he is one of the all-time end bosses.”

He then re-entered and doubled two hands later against Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo when the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} won a flip versus {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} on a {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board.

A Double; A Triple and a Bustout

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sam "SamSquid" Grafton took all but a few chips off Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood, who then replied in chat "sorry Sam, no bounty."

On the same table, "silentm0de" three-bet jammed {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Andras "probirs" Nemeth called with the {q-Spades}{3-Spades} to double up the Moldovan on a {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs} board.

Greenwood was then all-in and tripled up as Ilya "Leqenden" Anatsky isolated the three-way pot versus Nemeth by betting the {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} turn and jamming the {10-Diamonds} river. Nemeth folded and Greenwood's {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} were good against {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} to triple.

Anatsky then knocked out "silentm0de" in a three-bet pot in which the latter flopped top pair with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} and ran smack dab into the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} of Anatsky.

Carrel Jams Twice

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Charlie "Epiphany77" Carrel defended out of the big blind against a button raise to 9,200 by Preben "prebz" Stokkan and they headed to a {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop that was checked through. After the {8-Clubs} turn Carrel overbet for 32,059 and was called to then successfully jam the {q-Diamonds} river in order to force a fold from Stokkan.

One hand later, a short-stacked Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger min-raised to 8,000 and Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo three-bet the button to 24,000. Carrel jammed and won the next pot without resistance.

Botteon Busts; Leonard Rises

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon three-bet shoved his short stack out of the big blind with the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and button raiser Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira eventually called with the {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The board came {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and the trey on the flop locked up at least $2,500 for Ferreira.

In three-way action with initial raiser Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, it was Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson in the small blind that led the {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop for 7,544. Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois raised to 24,689 in the big blind and Leonard reraised to 54,444. Mattsson folded and Lefrancois called.

Lefrancois check-called a bet of 31,240 and the {a-Clubs} river was checked. Lefrancois tabled {9-Spades}{8-Spades} and Leonard won the pot with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

Leonard won another pot against Mattsson on a {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and moved up to nearly half a million in chips.
