Heads-up play did not last long.

Rick Block made it 100,000 from the button, then called when Charles Johnson bumped it to 350,000. Johnson bet the {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop and Block called. The turn came the {7-Clubs}, Johnson checked and Block ripped it in.

Johnson took a second or two, then called with the {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. He was behind against Block's {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} two pair, and stayed there after the {8-Hearts} river, making Block the 2106 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event champion and relegating Johnson to second place.
