The day began with nine hopefuls and slowly dwindled down, with David Litt being the first to go in a cooler where his trips were no good against the straight of Joey Couden, who himself later bowed out in fifth place.

Day 2 chip leader Chad Eveslage bowed out in fifth in brutal fashion when he made a full house only to be counterfeited by quads on the board to lose to the ace-high of Cohen.

Matthew Schreiber was down to just a few big bets during six-handed play but managed to run up his stack and ladder to third place, falling when he got it in with middle pair to be drawing thin against the two pair of Cohen.

Dilschneider is after his first big tournament score, while Cohen has his eyes dead-set on the bracelet after being denied one when he finished runner-up in Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout at the 2012 WSOP for $192,559.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be back on June 15 to see the heads-up battle play out.
