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