Cohen Doubles, Switches Up Celebration

Kai Cocklin

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

Timo Kamphues raised from the hijack to 25,000 and Lucien Cohen again shoved for 86,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Kamphues, he called.

Lucien Cohen: 9♥9♣ All in
Timo Kamphues: A♠J♠

Cohen found himself in another all-in situation, and he managed to survive again as the 4♥6♦10♥5♦2♠ runout kept his pocket nines in the lead.

The only thing different about this Cohen victory was the celebration, as his famous "ratman" quote wasn't used; instead he opted for a more French approach.

"Allez! Alllleezzzzzzzzz!" shouted Cohen.

Lucien Cohen moved all in for 180,000 in the cutoff and Zhewen Hu called in the big blind.

Lucien Cohen: A♣Q♠ All in
Zhewen Hu: K♣K♥

Hu had woken up with kings to leave Cohen at risk of elimination. "Ace," Cohen yelled out heading to the flop, which came Q♣J♦7♦. "Ace or queen," he shouted, and he got his wish when the A♠ fell on the turn to give him two pair.

"King," Hu cried as he pleaded for help. The dealer obliged by turning over the K♠ on the river to give him a set and send the Ratman to the rail.

"Bravo, my friend. It's good," Cohen, in the gentlest voice he's had so far this level, told Hu as he reached across the table to shake his opponent's hand before heading for the exit.

On a board of 4♠9♥10♦6♠, Deniz Dogan got the last of his chips in the middle with Taago Tamm looking to thin down the field.

Deniz Dogan: Q♦Q♠ All in
Taago Tamm: 9♣8♦

Dogan had the best of it right now, but Tamm had his fair share of outs as any seven. eight, or nine would see the Estonian scoop the pot and eliminate Dogan. Instead, the 3♥ dropped on the river and Dogan screamed "Yesss!" as he scooped in the pot worth around 300,000.

Ranno Sootla opened to 24,000 in early position and received calls from Adrien Quetelart on the button, and Ivan Zabiiakin and Anton Kraous in the blinds.

On the K♦J♠9♦ flop, action was checked to Sootla, who continued with a bet of 27,000, which only Kraous called.

On the 3♠ turn, Kraous check-jammed for 272,000 over a bet of 95,000 from Sootla. Sootla didn't like it, and burned through all of his remaining three time banks, before making the call.

Anton Kraous: Q♠10♦ All in
Ranno Sootla: A♥K♥

Kraous had Sootla drawing dead, having flopped the king-high nut straight, and the 4♠ river completed the board.

Timo Kamphues: A♥A♠ All in
Zhewen Hu: 9♠9♥

Kamphues found himself far in front with his aces as the board ran out Q♠7♣, earning him a late-night double up and knocking Hu back down to a short stack.

Kirill Shcherbakov limped in from the cutoff and Arian Hassankashani raised to 56,000 in the small blind. Shcherbakov then moved all in for 273,000 and Hassankashani called.

Kirill Shcherbakov: Q♦10♦ All in
Arian Hassankashani: A♥K♦

The 10♠6♣6♥ flop gave Shcherbakov the lead with two pair, while the rest of the 9♥Q♣ board missed Hassankashani as Shcherbakov finished with queens and tens to double up.

Kirill Shcherbakov opened the button to 25,000 and Marta Miquel Munoz shoved from the big blind for around 190,000. After a while thinking, Shcherbakov made the call.

Marta Miquel Munoz: Q♥J♣ All in
Kirill Shcherbakov: A♠9♠

Shcherbakov was in the lead, but it was Munoz improved on the Q♣K♥7♠ flop as she paired her queen. A 2♠ on the turn gave Shcherbakov a flush draw, but the 2♣ river was a brick, and Munoz doubled up.

Damir Zhugralin kicked things off with a raise to 24,000 from the hijack, and Fahredin Mustafov called from the big blind.

On the 9♦10♣7♥ flop, Mustafov led out with a bet of 15,000, but Zhugralin raised it to 60,000, prompting a call from Mustafov.

After Mustafov checked the 5♣ turn, Zhugralin made a bet of 96,000. Mustafov wasn't done yet and raised to 350,000, which Zhugralin called after using his entire time.

The 4♠ landed on the river, and Mustafov took his time, burning through two time bank cards before going all in, covering Zhugralin. Now it was Zhugralin's turn to decide if he wanted to risk his tournament life. As the dealer turned to him, he tossed in his last three time bank cards and said, "Tell me if I'm almost out of time."

After a couple more tense moments and two time bank cards later, he finally flicked a chip forward, signaling a call, and it was time for a showdown.

Mustafov revealed Q♦J♣ for a missed straight draw, effectively turning his hand into a bluff. That sent Zhugralin leaping from his chair, screaming as he revealed his set of sevens with 7♠7♣. He doubled up and found himself among the top stacks.
