Cohen Raises the River, Then Starts Singing; Talbot Lets Khamatgareev Choose One
Lucien Cohen and Aksel Aygun were heads-up on a board of 3♠2♦6♣4♣7♣ when Aygun bet 7,700 from early position. Cohen then raised to 37,000 in the cutoff.
"I am a rat man. Rat man," Cohen began singing as Aygun tanked for several minutes. Aygun eventually folded and Cohen took in the pot.
Over at Parker Talbot's table, he raised to 1,600 in the hijack and Ravil Khamatgareev called in the small blind.
The flop came 8♠K♦J♦ and Talbot continued for 2,700. Khamatgareev then raised to 9,100 and Talbot immediately splashed in a pile of blue 5,000 chips, enough to put Khamatgareev all in for his last 17,000.
Khamatgareev quickly folded. "Pick one," Talbot said as he put his cards in front of him. Khamatgareev picked the one on the left and Talbot exposed the K♠.
