Level 5

The German pushed all in for 1,300 after a raise to 4,000 by Sam Cohen from under the gun. The player on the button called and then also called off the isolation of Cohen with queen-jack suited.
Bojang had pocket tens and Cohen

2014 WSOP November Nine Profile: Bruno Politano
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Back on July 14, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event final table was set. The players in this year's "November Nine" are set to resume play on November 10, and it is a globally diverse group of young players who will be battling it out for the $10 million top prize.
Bruno Politano became the first Brazilian player to reach the WSOP November Nine, albeit with the shortest stack of 12.125 million. Despite his lack of chips heading into the final table, Politano's stack is the "biggest" short stack since the November Nine was established in 2008.
On the final table bubble in July, the Brazilian rail supporting Politano was one for the ages. They were loud and cheerful, they brought confetti cannons, and they even had one person donning a Scooby Doo costume. Come November 10, you can expect much more of that.
"My rail will support me," said Politano to PokerNews in an interview. "Brazilian rail is everything. When they are screaming, and sending me energy, good vibrations, I see and I smile for everybody. It’s so powerful. It’s not my dream come true, it’s my country’s dream come true."
To read more about Politano's amazing run to November and learn more about the player representing the green, blue, and yellow, check out this PokerNews 2014 WSOP November Nine profile.
