Cohen Slips

donpeters

The under-the-gun player limped, the button limped, Julian Powell completed from the small blind and then Julian Cohen checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

. Powell checked, Cohen checked and the under-the-gun player checked all before the button fired 600. Only Cohen made the call.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

and Cohen checked. The button fired 600 and was check-raised to 1,600. The button reraised to 4,600 and Cohen called, creating a juicy pot for the river.

The river was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and both players checked. Cohen tabled {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

for an eight-high flush. His opponent showed a higher flush with the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

.

Cohen is down to 25,000.
