Gibson Coolers an Opponent, Battles Cohen For the Chip Lead
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Michael Cohen bet 20,000 from the small blind on a board of 9♠9♥A♠Q♥ before Jeff Gibson raised to 75,000 in the big blind. A player in early position then moved all for 170,000, Cohen folded, while Gibson quickly called.
The early-position player showed 10♥9♦ for trips, but Gibson had K♣9♣ and was ahead with his king-kicker. The river was the 8♠ and Gibson secured the knockout as he and Cohen built up the two biggest stacks in the room.
