Sitting in the cutoff, Tina open-shoved for just under 2-million in chips. Karam Saleh was on the button with 1.4 million and made the call for less. Richard Sysko, who just barely covered Tina, called the two all-ins from the big blind.

Tina paired her ace on the turn to scoop the 5.5 million chip pot, propelling her in the lead while eliminating one opponent, and crippling another.

5th place: Richard Sysko – $5,000.00
