The final table is set in the ‘International Tournament’ segment of the 2020 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. The tournament attracted a total of 674 entries over the course of three starting flights, but now just nine players remain with a chance to win this event. The final nine are all guaranteed at least $75,360 paydays, but surely all have their eyes on the top prize of $1,550,969.
This year’s WSOP $10,000 main event features an unprecedented live-and-online hybrid model that will see two separate events play out, each beginning online and continuing until both final tables are set. The two eventual champions determined at those final tables, which will be played live and in person, will then square off in a live heads-up showdown to determine which will win the championship WSOP gold bracelet and an added bonus prize of $1,000,000 to go along with whatever they won at their initial final table.
Day 2 of the ‘International Tournament’ began with 179 players remaining. Over the course of around 10 hours of play, the field was whittled down to just nine players. When the dust settled, Brazil’s Brunno Botteon held the chip lead with 10,317,743. Botteon had a breakout summer at the WSOP Onoline, making three final tables in as many weeks to cash for over $1 million. He finished runner up in a $500 buyt-in limit hold’em event for $41,855, and then four days later placed sixth in the $25,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller for $388,827. Just a week later he made it down to the final in the $25,000 buy-in heads-up no-limit hold’em event, but lost to Fedor Holz. He added another $622,300 for that runner-up showing.
Portugal’s Manuel Ruivo is second in chips with 6,213,759, while Argentina’s Damian Salas sits in third with 5,653,528. Salas finished seventh in the 2017 WSOP main event in Las Vegas for $1,425,000. He has also had plenty of success playing online this year, with his biggest score being a third-place showing in the $10,300 buy-in World Poker Tour World Online Championships main event for $814,663.
Plenty of big names made deep runs in this event only to fall short of the final table, including 2019 WPT L.A. Poker Classic runner-up Matas Cimbolas (57th – $18,421), two-time WSOP main event final tablist Antoine Saout (53rd – $18,421), bracelet winner Toby Joyce (32nd – $26,507), Balz Zerjav (25th – $30,404), Preben Stokkan (23rd – $30,404), and 2020 WPT Germany main event winner Christopher Puetz (13th – $44,914). Thomas Macdonald was eliminated on the final-table bubble, taking home $50,131 after his A4 couldn’t hold up against the K3 of Ruivo after all of the chips went in preflop. With Macdonald’s exit, the final table of the ‘Internationa; Tournament’ was officially set.

The final table will be set the following day, with the in-person finale taking place on Dec. 28. The winners of the two tournaments will then meet on Dec. 30 for a final battle for the bracelet and the added $1,000,000 in prize money.

Yet another cheating scandal has erupted within the global poker community.
This time, the accusations point to German poker pro Fedor Kruse, who allegedly used a real time solver while playing cash games. The use of such software is prohibited at onlinepoker sites.
The scandal initially came to light when Kruse’s roommates exposed him on Two Plus Two forum. The whistleblowers alleged that the German poker pro was playing using two computers. One computer was used to playpoker, while the other was used to open an RTA software which stored pre-solved hands. The former Call of Duty streamer allegedly a different keyboard and mouse to trick poker room security.
While playing, Kruse would consult the solver which helped him to make GTO decisions. The whistleblowers backed up their claims by posting a photo of Kruse’s two-computer set up, and sharing a number of screenshots of their conversations with the poker pro. In one of those conversations, Kruse referred to the solver as the “dream machine”, and appeared to recommend it to one of his roommates to avoid being beaten by the regulars.
Rapid Climb
Kruse managed to build a successful career out of being a Call of Duty streamer with over 400,000 subscribers. He made a shift to poker around 2015 playing mostly tournaments.

He began playing $100NL cash games just about a year ago and then climbed to $200NL. At this level, players within the German poker community who knew Kruse would consider him an average player, but he quickly rocketed up, playing as high as $200/$400 on onlinepoker platforms. This was where suspicions began of Kruse using a real-time solver during his plays.

Other players also noted that he would consistently play 100 big blinds deep, using bet sizings similar to those programmed in solvers. Some of Kruse’s roommates admitted to getting a piece of his action, and they acknowledged their mistake. One of them shared a screenshot of Kruse’s cash game results while the staking deal was in play.
Kruse began in the $5,000 buy-in level, and while he initially lost, he managed to pull off a huge comeback by amassing $92,408 in winnings. He then rapidly moved to the $10,000 buy-in games. The German pro also took part in a number of events during the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Bracelet Series on GGPoker and even made a final table finish in one of them. He also finished runner-up in an online Circuit ring event where he won $92,000.

As of this writing, Kruse has yet to respond to the allegations against him. His roommates said they’ve already reported their suspicions to GGPoker and PokerStars.
