Cohen Back in Business; Diaz Done For

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Sam Cohen open-shoved from middle position for 44,100 and her all-in bet went uncalled. Matt Salsberg was in the big blind and he open-folded {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

The next hand, Cohen open shoved again, this time for 53,100 thanks to the blinds and antes that were added to her stack on the previous hand. This time she picked up a caller in the shape of Jay Diaz. The other active players ducked out of the way an the cards flipped onto their backs.

Cohen: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Diaz: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

A {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} gave Cohen outs to a flush in addition to being able to hit a king. This is exactly what she did when the {K-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. The {3-Spades} completed the hand and Cohen doubled through Diaz.

Diaz busted on the next hand when he moved all-in for less than the big blind. Isaac Baron completed the small blind and the big blind checked. The blinds then checked the {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, Baron then check-folded to a 7,000 bet on the {4-Diamonds} turn.

The big blind showed {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and it was good enough to beat Diaz's {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} when the {5-Clubs} completed the board.

We're now down to 60 in this event.
