Sabyl Cohen's Stack Halved

[user25067]

Over on the ESPN Feature Table, Sabyl Cohen opened the pot for 3,500, Team PokerNews' Gary Avery raised to 13,000 and Cohen called. The flop was {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

. Cohen checked, Avery bet 24,000, Cohen raised all in and Avery called 24,200 more.

Cohen showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

, but Avery had her crushed with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

, the river was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, and Avery doubled up.

Avery apparently has a talent for making balloon animals, and went to work constructing one for Cohen at the conclusion of the hand. He presented her with a heart with a little bear at it's center.

"I double you up, and this is all I get?" chuckled Cohen.

Her stack was down to 42,000 after the hand.
