"February $50,000 II" (Day 2): Mitchell Smith Takes Home The Title ($15,089), Eric Mutschler Runner-Up ($10,580)

"February $50,000 II"
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 32 (Blinds 80,000/160,000/20,000)
Total Entries: 552
Players Remaining: 1

Mitchell Smith (Palm Beach, FL) had a dream run to win this tournament, while Eric Mutschler continued his strong play to make his way to heads-up.

Eric Mutschler had a tough mountain to climb against Mitchell Smith (Palm Beach, FL), who started heads-up play with a commanding ten-to-one chip lead.  Only four hands would pass before Eric would be all-in and at risk:

Mutschler: A Q♠
Smith: A 4

Runout: J♣ 3 Q  10♠ 5

It just seemed like this tournament was Mitchell Smith's to win, as he gets it in with the worse hand against Mutschler...watches Eric flop strong against him...but makes a flush on the river to win.  Mitchell, who already had over $300,000 in tournament earnings, books his largest cash since December of last year (2017 Isle Classic).

Eric Mutschler (Tarpon Springs, FL), who was out of the spotlight for a short while, earns his second sizable score in less than a month.
