Catastrophy for Cohen
Last year Sam Cohen had a huge run in this event, finishing third for $81,829, which is her second biggest score to date. This year things are not looking that great for Cohen who already lost most of her chips in the second level of play.
Cohen told us how she raised to 500 from early position before the flop holding pocket aces, and Kelly Liu three-bet to 1,200. Another player decided to call the three-bet and Cohen four-bet to 3,700. Lui made the call and the third player involved moved all in for 10,500.
Cohen moved all in, Liu called off her total stack of 13,000 and a three-way all in was upon us.

Liu: 
Short stack: 
The board ran out 
and Cohen was left behind with just 5,000 chips. Liu meanwhile sits on around 34,000 chips.
