Mitch Schock Eliminated in 3rd Place ($100,165)
Schock: / /
Van Alstyne: / /
Down to just 325,000, Mitch Schock could play one hand to the river. The hand he chose to play couldn't have gone worse. Schock led out on fourth street and fifth street, with James Van Alstyne calling each time. On sixth street, Schock bet again. This time Van Alstyne raised enough to put Schock all in. He called and saw that he was drawing dead for both halves of the pot.
Schock's elimination paves the way for a heads-up match between James Van Alstyne and Tad Jurgens. This is the second time that Van Alstyne has been heads-up in a H.O.R.S.E. tournament during the 2009 WSOP; he finished runner-up to Zach Fellows in the $3,000 event.
