Pieter “XMorphineX” Aerts entered Final Table as Chipleader
The SCOOP Main Event is a 4-Day-Tournament and it took three days until the final table was set. And what a final table it was featuring the for many best tournament player in the world bencb789.
We fought hard, up and down, but ultimately we made it!

Other notables on the FT were Daniel “Oxota” Dvoress, Michael “imluckbox” Addamo, Irish Open and partypoker MILLIONS South America Champion Pablo “pabritz” Brito and Max “goodeh99” Silver.
Entering the final table as chipleader was Belgian pro and online crusher Pieter “XMorphineX” Aerts. However, Dvoress and Brito were hot on his heals.

Final Table Bustouts
EEE27 was the first player to hit the rail followed by online legend bencb789, which was unexpected as he entered the final table in 5th.
Next seats open were the three high stakes crushers Max Silver, Michael Addamo, Daniel Dvoress and former chipleader Pieter Aerts.
As the price jumps were huge, the final three players made a deal and left $50,000 and the trophy left to play for.
After Alex “dynoalot” DiFelice busted in 3rd, we were Heads-Up for the title between Brasilian top pro Pablo Silva, who already won the partypoker MILLIONS South America and the Irish Open and “Alexgirs” from Belarus.

The Heads-Up was very exciting and action-packed. Both players were basically even, until a very sick hand developed.
In a massive pot, “pabritz” then pushed All-in on a board of 8hAdAs2s6d and Alexgirs called with KsJc for King´high and was good as Silva only had 5s3s for the busted draw.
“Alexgirs” ends the tournament with one of the sickest calls ever!
One of the best and sickest calls in recent times made “Alexgirs” a well-deserved 2020 SCOOP Main Event Champion!
Calling all three streets in the #SCOOP2020 @PokerStars 10k, unreal from Alexgirs. Well deserved. I think. 👏👌 pic.twitter.com/eYPgHgOybn
