You may not have heard the name Mitch Schock prior to today, but you’ll certainly remember it after this tournament comes to a close. No matter where Schock finishes today, he’ll notch his fifth cash of the 2011 World Series of Poker.
Event #6 $1,500 Limit Hold’em (8th- $19,856)
Event #14 $3,000 Limit Hold’em (6th- $41,621)
Event #31 $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (60th- $6,077)
Event #34 $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em (12th- $28,239)
Those performances brought his total WSOP cashes to 19, totaling $593,474 . . . A total he will add to considerably no matter where he finishes in this tournament. Not only that, this marks Schock’s third final table of the summer, barely missing out on a fourth with his 12th-place finish. His success has earned him 152.31 points in the WSOP POY Race, currently good for 76th place; consequently, Schock’s performance here today will no doubt see him skyrocket toward the top of the list. To say Schock has a lot on the line would certainly be an understatement.
