Cynthia Bardo opened under the gun for 40,000 only to have Brandon Lee three-bet jam for 800,000 from the cutoff.

Action quickly folded back to Bardo, who called off her shorter 300,000 stack, and the two players revealed their hands.

Bardo found herself racing for her tournament life, and she quickly fell behind after the flop fell.

The turn then gave Bardo some momentum, as it gave her some more outs with an open-ended straight draw, but the river was a brick and ended her tournament.

Brandon Lee - 1,200,000
Cynthia Bardo - Eliminated
