Schoch shows T♥T♣ and Cooper has 4♦4♣.
The flop of 6♠J♣5♦ has Schoch well in front, while Cooper has a backdoor straight draw.
"Oooh," says Poker room Manager Mike Nelson as the 3♣ hits the turn, giving Cooper an open-ended draw.
A hard fist-punch in the air comes from Cooper as the 2♦ falls on the rivers, completing the straight and giving Cooper the win, 2 games to 1 over Schoch to claim the Heads Up title and the $8,000 first prize.
Schoch collects $5,000 for the runner-up finish. Schoch also moves into second place in the All-Around Player Championship race.
A railbird (we won't use Mitchell Cogert's name) said Cooper picked up a book on playing Heads Up before this event.
