Cohen Doubles Through Mantin

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

With one of the shorter stacks entering this final day of play, British-born Marcus Cohen made his stand from the small blind, shoving all in for his last 1.35 million after Mitchell Mantin opened to 330,000 from the button.

Mantin tanked long and hard while thinking things through, asking Cohen if he wanted a call or a fold.

"I want to double up man..." said Cohen with a smile. "I'm bleeding away here otherwise."

Eventually, after mentioning that he believed Cohen to hold a pair of sevens or something similar, Mantin called the bet and revealed his {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Cohen could only muster the {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to find himself dominated, but in a flash the flop fell {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to give him top two pair.

With a fist bump to celebrate, Cohen watched as the turn ({9-Hearts}) and river ({k-Clubs}) kept him out in front, and with that he scored the desperately needed double.
