Raj Rushed Out, Cohen Climbs

Raj: eliminated
Raj: eliminated
It was three-way action between Raj Ramakrishnan, Clint Cohen and another opponent on the button on a flop that read {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} - The button opened for 700, Cohen raised it to 10,000, Ramakrishnan shoved for 14,500 and both players called.

Cohen: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Ramakrishnan: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Ramakrishan and the opponent on the button were both all in for their tournament lives but got some hope when the {Q-Diamonds} appeared on the turn.

However the river was a useless {2-Spades}; Cohen's set held up and sent Ramakrishnan and the other opponent to the rail.

As a result, Cohen is now the unofficial chipleader on 61,500.
