Raymond Coburn and Jesse Rockowitz battled for the bracelet. Coburn led 8.35 Million to the 5.5 Million of Rockowitz. When it seemed Coburn was going to take the bracelet, Rockowitz managed a double up to pull slightly ahead of Coburn. The final hand saw both limp in to see a flop of 7c-8d-2d and Rockowitz bet out 95,000. Coburn raised to 500,000 and Rockowitz made it 1.36 Million to go. Coburn made the call and the turn fell the 6s. Rockowitz bet out for 945,000 and Coburn moved all-in. Rockowitz mulled over the decision for a while and finally made the call. He then revealed 7h-2h for two pair. Coburn showed Kc-9c for only an open ended-draw. The river fell the 8s and Jesse Rockowitz is our champion.
Jesse Rockowitz takes home his first WSOP bracelet and $721,373. Congratulations.
