Arruda vs Karlsson; Arruda vs Lefrancois

Level 39 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

Will "hellzito" Arruda min-raised the button to 1.4 million and was called by Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson in the big blind. Karlsson opted to check the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop and called a continuation bet of Arruda for 1,126,125.

Neither the {7-Spades} turn nor the {8-Spades} river provided any action and Karlsson dragged in the pot with {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

The next button was raised once more by Arruda for the same amount and Karlsson stuck around to the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. Arruda fired the exact same continuation bet and the {10-Hearts} turn was checked through. Karlsson also checked the {k-Clubs} river and folded when facing a bet of 3,776,500 by Arruda.

Arruda earned the next pot without showdown one hand later and then limped the small blind, Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois checked behind. The {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked and Arruda check-called 700,000 on the {8-Diamonds} turn and 1,531,250 on the {k-Clubs} river.

Lefrancois turned over {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and that won the pot for the French-Canadian.

Karlsson Jams Twice Into Lefrancois

Level 39 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

Will "hellzito" Arruda was denied a nice pot against Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson when he flopped two pair with {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} on a board of {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs} as the river counterfeit his hand and Karlsson chopped with the {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

After the blinds had gone up, Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois raised the small blind to 2.1 million and Karlsson jammed the big blind, a snap-fold by Lefrancois followed.

One orbit later the same happened again and Lefrancois raise-folded once more to Karlsson's shove.

Down and Up for Arruda

Level 38 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Three-handed play kicked off with several middle-sized pots and Will "hellzito" Arruda lost a big chunk of his stack in a limped pot with Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson. The Swede min-bet the {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and bet the {8-Diamonds} turn for 1.995 million, which Arruda both called.

The {7-Clubs} river was checked and Karlsson tabled the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a ten-high straight.

Karlsson also won the next 4.3 million pot against Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois with an overpair on the {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board as his {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} were the winning hand.

Arruda struck back and won a pot off Karlsson with a pair of fives, and the Brazilian then limped in from the small blind and called a raise to 1.8 million by Lefrancois. There was no betting action on the {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts} board and Arruda's {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} were good enough to rake in the pot.

Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv Eliminated in 4th Place ($171,123)

Level 38 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

The action started with a cutoff raise to 1.2 million by Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois and short stack Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv three-bet to 5.4 million with 2.42 million behind on the button. Lefrancois reraised and Plesuv called instantly.

Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Lefrancois picked up a lot of outs on the {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop and while the {j-Clubs} turn was a blank, the {k-Hearts} river was symbolic for the run of the French-Canadian on the final table so far as he hit a flush while Plesuv made a set.

For the Moldovan, a possible third SCOOP title was denied as Plesuv had to settle for 4th place and a payday of $171,123.02.

Lefrancois Wins With Aggression

Level 38 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Will "hellzito" Arruda limped the small blind and Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois checked behind to the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop. A min-bet of Arruda was called by Lefrancois but the {j-Hearts} turn triggered a second bet of 1.9 million and Lefrancois folded.

Arruda min-raised the next button and short stack Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv defended. The Moldovan check-raided the {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop from 600,000 to 1.65 million and earned the pot.

Lefrancois then fired two barrels in a battle button versus big blind against Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson with the {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} turn bet worth 4.5 million for the size of the pot. Karlsson check-folded.
