Brock Wilson wins Event 6 and is a two-time champion at the PokerGO Cup

During the last few days in Las Vegas (USA), the PokerGO Cup revealed new champions. One of them, however, was nothing new: Brock Wilson won Event 6, becoming a two-time champion of the series after also winning Event 4. He earned the highest figure of the last three tournaments.

Events 5, 6, and 7 had the same configuration, being regular No-Limit Hold’em tournaments with entries at US$ 10.100. Brock Wilson won the one that attracted the most registrations, totaling 70 entries, and the victory yielded US$ 210 thousand. Shannon Shorr was the runner-up, and Chris Hunichen, who appeared in the three final tables, completed the podium.

Check out the final standings of Event 6:

1. Brock Wilson – US$ 210.000
2. Shannon Shorr – US$ 136.500
3. Chris Hunichen – US$ 94.500
4. Nick Seward – US$ 70.000
5. Darren Elias – US$ 52.500
6. Qinghai Pan – US$ 38.500

And just as he did against David Coleman in Event 4, Brock Wilson again needed to turn the heads-up around. Shorr started the final duel far ahead, with 7.825.000 chips against 925.000 for Wilson. The recovery happened in a few double-ups and victories in large pots, until Shorr risked a bluff that didn’t work out. After the comeback, Wilson took off and never lost the lead again.
