Mitch Schock Wins Event #39 ($310,225)

Jun 25, '11

Rodney Brown Eliminated in 2nd Place ($191,618)
Omaha

Rodney Brown entered heads-up play outchipped by 3.5 million to 1.3 million but was able to steal the chip lead for himself in Level 25 after doubling up with a flopped set in the PLO round. Brown had taken the chip lead for the first time tonight with 3.5 million to Schock’s 1.3 million, turning the table on his opponent and essentially trading their starting stacks.

Brown put the pressure on Schock and even had him down to just 600,000 at one pint before Schock doubled up with a rivered straight in the PLH portion of Level 26. Schock doubled up again, this time back to even, and shortly after rivering a flush to win a huge pot in PLO, Schock took control of the tournament.

On the final hand of the night, Rodney Brown button-raised to 100,000 before the flop, Mitch Schock reraised to 300,000 from the big blind and Brown called.

The flop came 10 7 5, Schock bet 400,000, Brown moved all in and Schock called.

Brown: A 10 9 8
Schock: A A 6 3

Schock was ahead with a pair of aces and a flush draw against Brown’s top pair and open-ended straight draw. The turn and river were the 6 and the 9, giving Schock a flush on the turn.

Rodney Brown was drawing dead to the river and was eliminated in 2nd place ($191,618) while Mitch Schock won the gold bracelet in Event #39 and the $310,255 grand prize.
