Yulia Lisichkina raised from the button to 150,000, Scott Baumsteain reraised from the small blind to 375,000, and Lisichkina four-bet all in for about 1.25 million.

Baumstein folded, and Lisichkina took the pot.

Yulia Lisichkina  –  1,750,000  (29 bb)
Scott Baumstein  –  2,075,000  (35 bb)

After the blinds increased to 50,000/75,000 with a 75,000 ante, Baumstein and Fred Goldberg saw a flop of Qs10c5d. Baumstein bet 75,000 form the small blind, and Goldberg called from the big blind.

The turn card was the 9h, and both players checked. The river card was the Kc, Baumstein bet 375,000, Goldberg raised to about 1.0 million, and Baumstein folded. Goldberg took the pot.

The next hand, Goldberg accidentally raised from the small blind to 150,000, but it was too late as his chips were out far enough to be a legal bet. Lisichkina moved all in from the big blind for 1.75 million, and Goldberg looked frustrated as he asked for an exact count. Goldberg tanked for a while before he folded, and Lisichkina took the pot.

Yulia Lisichkina  –  2,050,000  (27 bb)

A few minutes later, with the final board showing 10h8s6c5h7h and about 1.6 million in the pot, Goldberg bet 625,000 from the small blind, and Lisichkina moved all in from the big blind for about 1.1 million.

Goldberg thought for a bit before he folded, and Lisichkina took the pot.

Seat 1.  Fred Goldberg  –  1,900,000  (25 bb)
Seat 2.  Yulia Lisichkina  –  3,325,000  (44 bb)
Seat 3.  Scott Baumstein  –  1,250,000  (17 bb)

With three players remaining, the average chip stack is about 2.15 million (29 big blinds), and the next player to bust will earn $13,770.
