Stephen Brite (left) Heads-Up Against Joshua Palmer

After about 15 minutes of heads-up play, Stephen Brite had built some momentum in a lot of smaller pots to knock Joshua Palmer down below 300K.

Stephen Brite  –  1,160,000  (58 bb)
Joshua Palmer  –  280,000  (14 bb)

At that point, Palmer completed the small blind to 20,000, and Brite checked his option.

The flop came As8d3h, Brite checked, Palmer bet 25,000, and Brite called.

The turn card was the 7h, Brite checked, Palmer bet 60,000, and Brite pot-raised all in. Palmer tanked for a long time before he called all in for 234,000.

Stephen Brite:  Ad9h7s7c  (set of sevens)
Joshua Palmer:  Jh8h6c5d  (heart flush draw, open-ended straight draw)

The river card was the Jc, and the set of sevens held up for Brite to win the pot — and the trophy and the title.

Congratulations to Stephen Brite!
