Cohen Bleeds Off Chips
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Just before the blinds went up, Justin Cohen limped in and Gareth Fourie did so from the cutoff. Jaron Kavnat on the button raised to 12,000 and earned two calls. The Q♠4♥4♦ flop was checked to Fourie and he bet 5,000, only Cohen called with a shorter stack behind.
That led them to the 8♠ turn on which Cohen check-called for another 5,000.
On the 3♥ river, Cohen checked and Fourie now bet 10,000. The curiosity caught Cohen, as he sighed and almost silently let out an "fuck ... I am bleeding off my chips". He asked Fourie if he had a four or queen, to which the big stack replied "honestly ... no, I swear".
Cohen called to get shown 8♥8♣ for a turned full house, exposed his 6♠6♥ and plummeted to only a handful of big blinds.
