Over A Milly For Warner After Huge Set Up

After a very slow level it was a huge cooler that brought back the excitement in the Crown Poker room. On a {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop it was Hugh Cohen who bet 37,000 and Ashley Warner raised it up to 55,000. Cohen three-bet to 85,000 and Warner moved all in.

Cohen didn't seem too happy risking all his chips on one hand, but he made the call creating a pot worth 1.2 million!

Hugh Cohen{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Ashley Warner{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Cohen was ahead with his straight, but the {10-Spades} sealed the deal for Warner. He made quads and doubled up. The river brought the {9-Clubs} and Cohen was left behind with just 41,000 chips. On the very next hand he doubled up, and Cohen plays on with 95,000.
