Robert Cowen knocks out Ami Barer close to the bubble and applies pressure with the money spots in sight. Carlos Chang is the only one playing back and gets Cowen off a pot.
Cowen then raises to 30,000 while Mike Leah is forced all-in for 5,000 in the big blind. Chris Hak calls and three players head to the 
flop. Cowen bets 35,000 and Hak folds.

Leah is at risk two spots away from the money and cannot catch any help on the 
turn. However, the river is the 
and Leah turns one chip into four chips. He then folds the small blind and has one orbit with fewer than half of a big blind.
Robert Cowen – 2,135,000 (142 bb)
Carlos Chang – 1,100,000 (73 bb)
Chris Hak – 1,075,000 (70 bb)
Jesse Mcvicker – 475,000 (32 bb)
Mike Leah 10,000 (< 1 bb)
Ami Barer – Eliminated
