Seconds after Level 26 began Chris Moore picked off a Kathy Liebert bluff to chip away at her massive lead.

She check-raised him on a flop with two jacks and two spades, fired again on a brick of a turn and when they both checked down the A river, Chris revealed bottom pair.

Kathy mucked and Moore is now on 2.1 million to Liebert's 3.6 million.

Just behind is Steve Brecher with 1.9 million.

Even the crowd seems a bit subdued here in San Jose as not much has changed over the last little while.

Steve Brecher had moved a little closer to Kathy Liebert until Chris Moore used two pair to drag a 600k pot from him.

Moore is now second in chips with a little over 2 million.

Brecher has 1.7 million and Kathy seems content to sit on her massive 4 million stack right now.

In what is shaping up as the battle to get heads-up with Kathy Liebert, Chris Moore got it all-in preflop with 6 6 against Steve Brecher's A K.

The flop rolled out Q 9 7 and Brecher picked up a gut-shot on the J turn.

However, the 8 river ensured Moore would double up, and now both players are sitting on around 1.7 million.

We're into Level 25 at Bay 101 now and not much has changed.

Kathy Liebert has about 1 million more chips than Steve Brecher and Chris Moore combined, so this thing is hers to win.

"I think somebody is going to make history tonight," yelled one woman from the crowd, referring to the fact Liebert could become the first female WPT title holder should she hold on to win.

JJ Liu actually got close two years ago, right here in San Jose, but lost to Ted Forrest heads-up.

Tony Behari open-shoved for his last 450k and after getting a count, Kathy Liebert reshipped.

The others mucked, and it turned out Behari had let it ride on K 8.

Liebert's T T was the huge favorite and after the 7 2 J 3 4 came kingless and rather unflushy, Behari was out fourth.

The pro-Liebert crowd went wild, especially considering she just bought a round of drinks for them, and while her lead continued to grow, Behari headed to the cage to grab $291,500 for fourth.

Tony Behari just dumped all his chips to Kathy Liebert, three-betting all-in on the turn with no pair, no draw after she check-raised him.

Unfortunately for Behari, he ran smack into Liebert's flopped full house.

A surprised Liebert had 5 5 on the 5 9 9 4 board, and was only too happy to call with Behari drawing dead on K J.

After the 8 river, PokerKat moved into the chip lead chair with over 4 million.

Meanwhile, Behari goes from hero to zero with around 600k, and may very well be the next to go.

Obvious crowd favorite Kathy Liebert has moved back over the 2 million mark thanks to four-flushing Chris Moore.

They both had pocket threes when he bet the river on a A Q J 5 Q board.

However, she called with the 3 to get within striking distance of chip leader Tony Behari, a 32-year-old Bay Area resident who got here through a $1,025 satellite.

Moore is the short stack now.

Tony Behari inched up closer to chip leader Chris Moore, getting paid after making the big end of a straight with Moore on the smaller side.

They both had around 2.5 million as Level 24 began and then suddenly, Kathy Liebert started shoving preflop.

She did it once and got no callers, but the second time Moore looked down at T T and pulled the trigger.

Unbelievably, Liebert had A A, and after the J 9 3 J Q board ran out, she jumped back up close to 1.6 million and Moore fell to around that mark as well.

After making trip sixes to drag a 600k pot from Steve Brecher, Chris Moore is pulling away from the pack a little here at Bay 101.

The 25-year-old Chicago native is no stranger to endgame strategy, having won the 2008 Wynn Classic one year after finishing third there.

He also came second to Vivek Rajkumar at the $10k LAPC Heads-Up event last month and seems to be applying the correct amount of pressure on his opponents here at the final table today.

He's playing more hands than anyone else, and it's working.

In the meantime, Kathy Liebert dumped a whole whack of chips to Tony Behari when he turned a flush against her, and she's now the shortest stack.

As we move into Level 23 things have slowed down four-handed.

Thanks to a 700k pot he snatched from Kathy Liebert's clutches making two pair, Chris Moore has really made this a four-horse race.

Steve Brecher, Tony Behari and Moore are all hovering around the 2 million mark and Liebert is just a couple hundred thousand behind.

The blinds this level increase to only 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 chip ante, meaning this is a seriously deep-stacked final four as well.

All four players are weaving themselves carefully in and out of pots; it appears no one is ready to take a big risk right now, and who can blame them?

After all, there is a $1 million first-place prize at stake.
