Andrew Brown overcame a big chip deficit and manage to defeat five-time bracelet winner Ted Forrest to capture his first bracelet himself at his very first WSOP.

In a topsy-turvy match, Brown managed to take control and put Ted Forrest all-in a couple of times before Forrest made a comeback and briefly recaptured the lead.

Brown, though, redoubled his efforts, and his aggressive style led to a couple of scoops that earned him the first place.

Pechac Dismissed!

Jim Pechac goes out in third when his Q Q 8 5 is up against Brown's J 3 6 4. A board of K 4 5 6 J leaves neither player with a low, but Brown's jacks and sixes are good for the high, and thus, the total pot.

Quad Me Baby!

The two players see a K 9 9 flop heads-up; Brown bets, with Forrest calling. The same pattern occurs on the 6 and 9#s river. Brown shows K 9 5 4 for quads. With this pot Brown drew virtually level in the chip stakes.

Forrest Reduced to a Thicket

Ted Forrest called a button raise and then led out on the J 8 3; Brown called, then bet the 5 turn when Forrest checked. The latter opted for a call before check/raising the 2 river and being called. Forrest proudly showed his A 4 3 T for the wheel, but then Brown declared, "I have three quarters."

Forrest looked shocked: "You have three quarters???"

Brown showed A 2 4 6 for the wheel also, but with a six-high straight. The five-time bracelet winner was reduced to less than half a million.

Forrest Gumped!

Forrest and Brown see a 9 J A flop; Forrest bets and Brown calls. On the 8, the same action is repeated. The river is the 2. Forrest moves in his last $85,000 and Brown calls again.

Forrest: A 4 Q 7

Brown: J 2 4 5

Brown's jacks and deuces are good for the high, while his A-2-4-5-8 also takes the high and the title!!

We're down to three players in the $2,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Split 8-Or-Better and here's how it all played out:

Hooshmand Zada'd (5th)!

Ted Forrest raises and Kia Hooshmand moves all-in for his last $45,000. Forrest makes the call and shows A T 7 2 to his adversary's A 9 8 2. The board comes A J 4 4 T and Forrest takes the pot to send Hooshmand to the rail in fifth place for $58,877.

Shamseddin Crippled!

Forrest limps-in from under the gun and Jim Pechac and Soheil Shamseddin join the party in the blinds. The flop comes 9 6 5 and Pechac checks to Shamseddin, who bets out. Forrest lays it down and Pechac stays around for the turn, which is the K. Pechac bets out and Shamseddin flat-calls. The river is the 6 and both players check.

Pechac shows A K T 4 for the ace-high flush while Shamseddin has 7 5 4 2 and could not make a low. He's crippled on the play.

Shamseddin Busto (4th)!

Shamseddin raises preflop and is called by Andrew Brown and Pechac. The flop comes K 5 5 and the action checks to Shamseddin, who bets his last $5,000. Brown and Pechac both call and the turn is the 2, prompting a bet from Brown and a fold from Pechac.

Brown turns up 9 6 2 2 for the boat while Shamseddin has A Q 8 6 and is drawing to the low for the split. The river is the J, however, and Shamseddin is thus eliminated in fourth place. He'll take home $71,691 for his time.
