Will Arruda overthrows ‘lost’ HU to win SCOOP Event 26-H
After a huge win in the Online Super Series, Will Arruda turned around a seemingly losing heads-up situation to win his first SCOOP 2024 title. In the cracked Event 26: $530 NL Hold’em (7-Max, DeepStacks), the pilot of the “hellzito” account won $43,380.
Will took down 10 BBs, while Chris “WATnlos” Rudolph took down 63 BBs. Starting with A?Q♥, he made an open shove and was called by the German holding Q♣6♣. The board 10♠5♦2♣J♣9♦ did not surprise the Brazilian and he doubled up.
On the same level, Will went all-in on a flop of 10♠J♥7♦. Rudolph called again. In the match of 9♣7♣ against K♠Q, the 4Bet team member had the advantage on both the turn 2♠ and the river 6.
Will was now on the heels of his opponent and soon took over the lead from then on. In the final hand, he made an open all-in shove and saw Rudolph call with A♥4. With A♠10♥, Will put his opponent on the defensive when the board reached 9♥5\9♣K♥3♣.
In the $109 Mid-Sized Event 26, the podium was full of green and remained yellow. The champion Cayo “Cayao_aju” Chagas received $36,269, while “giorgiopf1” (second place) and “CrushWhales” (third place) received $24,939 and $17,149 respectively.
