Steve Horniacek limped in for 80,000 from the button and Jason Rocha checked his option in the big blind.

The flop was Ts9d7c, Rocha bet 200,000, and Horniacek called.

The turn was the Jc, Rocha checked, Horniacek went all in for about 1,200,000, and Rocha called with 8h7h for a jack-high straight, leading Horniacek’s 9s7s for nines and sevens.

The river was the Qc, safe for Rocha to win Event 28 outright for $11,476 and a $3,500 seat into the WPT RRPO Championship. Horniacek finished runner-up for $8,046.

A recap of Event 28 will be posted later tonight.
