Fred Goldberg got it all in from the big blind for 1,800,000 with KsKh, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the 9s9h of Yulia Lisichkina.

The board came Js4h3c2s10h, and the pocket kings held up for Goldberg to win the pot and double up in chips.

Seat 4.  Fred Goldberg  –  3,725,000  (50 bb)
Seat 6.  Yulia Lisichkina  –  1,450,000  (19 bb)
Seat 7.  Scott Baumstein  –  1,350,000  (18 bb)

A few minutes later, Scott Baumstein got it all in from the small blind for 1,625,000 with 4h4d, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against Goldberg’s As5d in the big blind.

The board came KhJh9h9s6d, and the pocket fours held up for Baumstein to win the pot and double up in chips.

Seat 4.  Fred Goldberg  –  1,800,000  (24 bb)
Seat 6.  Yulia Lisichkina  –  1,325,000  (18 bb)
Seat 7.  Scott Baumstein  –  3,325,000  (44 bb)

After the blinds increased to 50,000/100,000, Goldberg moved all in from the button for 1.65 million, and Baumstein called from the big blind with 6s6h. Goldberg turned over Jd10d, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 9d5c2h10hQd, and Goldberg paired his ten on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Seat 4.  Fred Goldberg  –  3,450,000  (35 bb)
Seat 6.  Yulia Lisichkina  –  1,000,000  (10 bb)
Seat 7.  Scott Baumstein  –  2,025,000  (20 bb)

With three players remaining, the average chip stack is about 2.15 million (22 big blinds), and the next player to bust will earn $13,770.
