Lebrun checked to the preflop raiser on a flop of and Cobb continued for 1,220,000. Despite the large sizing, Lebrun was not going anywhere just yet and made the call.

Lebrun did not take long to make the call but mucked after Cobb turned over to take down a massive pot that sees her increase her chiplead.
