After limping in pre-flop, Brunson checks behind on the flop as Gary Berland slowplays his two pairs. The turn changes things though, and when Berland raises all-in, he is down to four outs to survive.
Instead, Brunson caps off his second straight Main Event with a full house, Tens over Twos.
Berland will end his career with five bracelets, all in Razz and Stud, but will never take down the Main Event.
