Cohen's Stack Yo-Yoing, Hu Doubles With Aces

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Zhewen Hu

Lucien Cohen has been involved in a few pots since players returned from dinner, and just played two back-to-back all-in hands.

First, Zhewen Hu opened from the hijack to 25,000 and Cohen defended his big blind.

On the flop of 9♦8♥3♦, Cohen open-shoved, and Hu snap-called for his stack of 171,000.

Zhewen Hu: A♣A♦ All in
Lucien Cohen: Q♣8♠

"Queen. Queen. Queen!" Cohen kept repeating, but it didn't come as the K♣J♠ runout kept the aces of Hu in the lead, which left Cohen with just 33,000.

The very next hand, Boris Tabiyev raised from under the gun to 25,000 and Cohen shoved from the small blind for 33,000. Chakib Mhiri called in the big blind, and Tabiyev also called.

The side pot remained empty as Mhiri and Tabiyev checked it down on the 9♥9♠Q♦8♣3♣ board where Cohen showed K♣8♠ for a pair of eights, Mhiri mucked, and Tabiyev showed A♠10♦, which meant Cohen tripled up.

"I am the ratman!" was once again shouted by Cohen as he raked in the pot.
