Cohen Makes First Elimination
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Winner of the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event during EPT Barcelona in August, Lucien Cohen is in the field and has already eliminated a player.
From the hijack, he opened to 300, then was raised to 1,600 by Azamat Tulepbergenov in the cutoff. Cohen called, and discovered a 6♣4♠J♣ flop.
Tulepbergenov, bet 2,000, but Cohen raised to 6,500. Then Tulepbergenov moved all in with the starting stack, and Cohen called.
Azamat Tulepbergenov: Q♣Q♥
Lucien Cohen: J♠J♦
Cohen hit a set on the flop, and it held after the turn 2♥ and the river 9♠. "I knew he had a big pair. I even thought he had aces," Cohen said, while Tulepbergenov was leaving the tournament area.
