It's not been an easy final table for Sam Cohen so far, but she just had plenty of reason to smile after taking down a big pot from Christian Haggart to regain the chip lead.

Haggart quickly flicked out another 125,000 and Cohen threw in the call. On the turn the {8-Spades} popped up and confidently Haggart announced a bet of 200,000. Cohen did not waste any time and called creating a huge pot on the river.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Haggart checked, after which Cohen quickly checked back and showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Haggart mucked and Cohen raked in this very big pot.
