In the last hand of Level 26, Scott Baumstein min-raised from the button to 100,000, Fred Goldberg called from the small blind, and Yulia Lisichkina moved all in from the big blind for 725,000.

Baumstein folded, and Goldberg called with 5s5h. Lisichkina turned over QcJc, and she needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Js10s3s2h8d — Goldberg flopped a spade flush draw to Lisichkina’s pair of jacks, but the board ran out dry for Goldberg. Lisichkina won the pot with her pair of jacks to double up in chips.

Yulia Lisichkina  –  1,600,000  (32 bb)
Fred Goldberg  –  2,515,000  (50 bb)

With three players remaining, the average chip stack is about 2.15 million (43 big blinds), and the next player to bust will earn $13,770.
