Cohen Beat Up

Hulian Cohen raised to 1,100 and Ivar Rivenaes called from the small blind. Initially, Rivenaes called only the 400 for the blind without seeing the raise, and then called the total of 1,100 after being informed there was a raise.

The flop came down {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Rivenaes led for 5,000. With only 10,000 left in his stack, Cohen moved all in. Rivenaes quickly called holding {J-Spades} {6-Spades}. Cohen held top pair, top kicker with {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}.

The turn brought a repeat six with the {6-Hearts}, giving Rivenaes the better hand. The river was the {8-Spades} completing the board.

Cohen dropped to 7,000 chips after absorbing the beat.
