Cheong's Ship Sinks, Cohen's The New Captain

Within a three-hand span things were turned around massively over on Table 31. The number two in the tournament was knocked out, and Hugh Cohen emerged as the new chip leader.

On the first hand it was Cohen who raised under the gun plus one to 12,000. The small blind called, and Cheong three-bet to 33,000 from the big blind. Cohen opted to four-bet to 62,500 after which the small blind folded. Cheong moved all in, and Cohen risked his 222,500-chip stack by making the call.

Kyle Cheong{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Hugh Cohen{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, and Cohen doubled up to 480,000 chips. Cheong was left behind with just 100,000, and he moved all in from the button two hands later. Cohen called from the big blind.

Kyle Cheong{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Hugh Cohen{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, and Cheong's tournament was over. Cheong seemed shellshocked while Cohen started stacking his massive new stack.
