SCOOP 2016: theispoker makes it 12 for Brazil with Event #20-L victory ($27 FL Omaha Hi/Lo [8-Max]) NO Deposit bonus $43

Brazil's stranglehold at the 2016 SCOOP continued today when Omaha Hi/Lo specialist theispoker took down Event #20-L. Out of the 57 events that experience played to a winner as of press time, Brazilians have won twelve of them. 

Our colleague Stephen Bartley dubbed it "The Brazilian Storm" and the 3 new SCOOP champions he spoke with share a typical denominator--dedication to the sport tempered with pure joy. Their attitude reflects the spirit of the Brazilian poker community itself and greater than ever before, those players are taking their rightful spot as contenders within the best tournaments within the world. 

Event #20-L won't have had the top buy-in or the richest prize pool, but its final table had two players with seven COOP titles among them. Canada's buzzard1881 was going for a Triple COOP today. He won a WCOOP title in 2013 and two TCOOP titles this January. Russia's aDrENalin710 has four COOP titles to his name-- two WCOOPs and two SCOOPs. 

1,848 players bought in to Event #20-L, making a $45,268.40 prize pool that easily surpassed the $25K guarantee. 240 places were paid with $7,940.75 as much asp. 

The blinds were up to 100,000/200,000 with nine players remaining and nemisoi was the quick stack with 325,958 in chips. Buzzard1881 led off the action with a 200,000 raise from UTG and nemisoi three-bet to 300,000, buzzard1881 four-bet and nemisoi called off his reamining 25,958.

Nemisoi improved only to a couple of threes at the 9♠3♥K♣2♣7♥ board, while buzzard1881 made kings up and a 7-5-3-2-A low to scoop the pot and send us to the eight-handed final table.

Lechi1984 scooped the 2.28 million pot, leaving aDrENalin710 with only 25,000 in chips. Although aDrENalin710 climbed back as much as 225,000, it wasn't enough to avoid wasting him. All-in preflop with 3♣4♠T♣K♠ vs. theispoker and jayme1987, aDrENalin710 turned tens and fours at the Q♠7♣4♥T♥5♦ board, but theispoker scooped the entire thing with trip queens, ending aDrENalin710's run in eighth place. 

Ten minutes later, buzzard1881 was right down to only 219,700 and raised all-in preflop. Kusu a three-bet and juninprp called from the large ignorant of make it three-way action. Juninprp check-called Kusu a's bet at the K♦6♥3♥ flop and checked again when the 2♥ turn. Kusu a fired another 400,000, folding out juninprp. The 4♣ completed the board and Kusu a revealed A♣5♥J♦K♠ for a wheel. Buzzard1881 mucked his Q♣Q♥J♣T♦ and hit the rail in seventh place, his quest for a Triple COOP at an end for today. 

Two hands later, $$paniko9$$ bet his last 95,340 preflop. Juninprp, theispoker, and jayme1987 all joined him for a gamble apiece. The action checked around at the A♠6♠4♠ flop and all three active players checked again when the 7♠ turned. The river was the 8♣ and theispoker checked to jayme1987, who bet 400,000. Juninprp called and theispoker got out of how. Jayme1987 took the low pot with 6-5-4-2-A and juninprp won the high with a six-to-ten straight, eliminating $$paniko9$$ in sixth place. 

After that hand, juninprp took the chip lead with 5.2 million, but lost greater than half his stack to Lechi1984 when he scooped a 3.7 million pot with an ace-high flush and an 8-6 low. Not up to two orbits later, juninprp opened for a 480,000 raise and got two callers-- Kusu a and Lehi1984. The action checked to juninprp at the T♦8♦5♣ flop and he bet 240,000. Both opponents called. The turn came the 7♣ and it was the similar story-- check, check, bet, call, call. The 2♣ rivered and Kusu a checked to Lechi1984, who made it 480,000 to head. Juninprp called all-in for 336,170 and Kusu a called besides. Kusu a took the high with Q♠T♣7♥2♠ for tens and sevens, Lechi1984 took the low with A♠2♥4♥5♠ for a 7-5-4-2-A low and juninprp mucked, his final table run ending with a fifth-place finish. 

Jayme1987 was next to fall at the short stack and bet the remainder of his chips on a J♣8♠8♦ flop vs. Kusu a and Lechi1984, who checked down the A♥ turn and the 8♥ river. Lechi1984 turned over A♠Q♥T♠6♣, an ace kicker to compliment the trip eights at the board, and scooped the 1.78 million pot, sending Jayme1987 home in fourth place. 

When three-handed play commenced, theispoker held the chip lead with 8.4 million, Lechi1984 held 5.9 million, and Kusu a was the fast stack with 4.2 million. Although Kusu a won a slew of small pots to start, theispoker won those that counted and rocketed as much as 14.6 million in chips, leaving both his opponents below 2.5 million. With the blinds as much as 160,000/320,000, Lechi1984 folded his button and theispoker made it 640,000 to move from the small blind. Kusu a three-bet, theispoker capped and Kusu a called. The remainder of Kusu a's chips went in at the K♦7♥5♥ flop.

However, as fate would have it, the turn and river came running non-heart deuces, the 2♣ and the 2♦, making theispoker trips. No low hand qualified, and Kusu a was out in third place.
