Joseph Lebrun moved all in for 1,465,000 in the small blind and, after asking for a count, Caitlyn Cobb made the call in the big blind.

Joseph Lebrun: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Caitlyn Cobb: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Lebrun was in a good spot to get a crucial double, having Cobb dominated. He was able to stay ahead on the {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} runout to close the gap between himself and the other two players.

Mark Dickstein Eliminated in 4th Place ($90,482)

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mark Dickstein
Mark Dickstein

Action folded around to Mark Dickstein in the small blind and he moved all in. Justin Liberto quickly called in the big blind with the covering stack to put Dickstein at risk.

Mark Dickstein: {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Justin Liberto: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Dickstein was not in great shape, needing to come from behind to survive. No help came for him on the {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop or the {a-Spades} turn with the {7-Clubs} river completing a clean runout for the jacks to send Dickstein out of the tournament in 4th place.

All three remaining players have now locked up a six figure score.

Cobb Rivers Trips

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Caitlyn Cobb opened to 480,000 from under the gun and received a single call from Joseph Lebrun in the big blind.

Lebrun checked to the preflop raiser on a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Cobb continued for 1,220,000. Despite the large sizing, Lebrun was not going anywhere just yet and made the call.

Both players checked through the {8-Hearts} turn to the {9-Clubs} river at which point Lebrun checked for a third time. Cobb, not yet willing to go to showdown, pushed a hefty 3,000,000 into the middle. Lebrun did not take long to make the call but mucked after Cobb turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} to take down a massive pot that sees her increase her chiplead.

Christopher Brown Eliminated in 5th Place ($68,818)

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Christopher Brown
Christopher Brown

Caitlyn Cobb opened to 480,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Christopher Brown in the big blind who moved all in. Cobb quickly called with the covering stack to put Brown at risk.

Christopher Brown: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Caitlyn Cobb: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Brown was ahead with his ladies but the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} flop did give Cobb a flush draw. The {3-Spades} turn left Brown hoping to make a full house on the river to survive but he could not do so as the {a-Hearts} river completed the board to send Brown to the payout cage in 5th place.

Brown Builds Back

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Christopher Brown had already managed to find one double through Mark Dickstein and now moved all in again for 1,200,000 from under the gun. Caitlyn Cobb then raised in the cutoff, forcing the remaining players out of the hand.

Christopher Brown: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Caitlyn Cobb: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Cobb was ahead but could not hold on the {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} runout to hand Brown another double.

Lebrun Doubles Through Brown

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joseph Lebrun opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and was called by Christopher Brown on the button as well as Mark Dickstein in the big blind.

Action checked to Brown on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and he led out for 600,000. That forced a fold from Dickstein but Lebrun called to see a turn.

The turn came {8-Hearts} and Lebrun checked for a second time. Brown immediately moved all and Lebrun, though he seemed uncomfortable with the situation, called off with the effective stack.

Joseph Lebrun: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Christopher Brown: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Lebrun was ahead with his pocket rockets but would need to fade Brown's flush and straight outs. He was able to do that after the river bricked out {4-Spades} to hand a massive double to Lebrun while leaving Brown as the short stack.

Shouyi Gao Eliminated in 6th Place ($52,250)

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Shouyi Gao
Shouyi Gao

Shouyi Gao moved all in from early position and Caitlyn Cobb on the button raised to isolate. Mark Dickstein and Justin Liberto quickly vacated the blinds to put Gao officially at risk.

Shouyi Gao: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Caitlyn Cobb: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Gao had Cobb dominated and was in a good spot to secure a full double. The {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop and {a-Spades} turn kept Gao ahead but the {j-Clubs} river paired Cobb's inferior kicker to hand her the pot and send Gao to the rail in 6th place.
