When 3-methylbutan-2-ol is treated with ...

When 3-methylbutan-2-ol is treated with HBr, the following reaction takes place:
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")"CH"-underset(OH)underset("| ")"CH"-CH_(3)overset(HBr)rarr CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")overset("Br ")overset("| ")"C "-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
Give a mechanism for this reaction.
