Cohen Albert is On a Boat

Rory Rees-Brennan
Rory Rees-Brennan
We picked up a heads-up pot after the initial betting round put about 15,000 chips in the middle of the table. The dealer spread out a flop of {2-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts}, and Rory Rees-Brennan was first to speak. He and Cohen Albert both checked, and the turn came the {8-Hearts}. Rees-Brennan led out with a bet of 8,500, and Albert would slowly make the call.

The last card off was the {Q-Spades}, and Rees-Brennan moved all in with his covering stack. Albert quickly slid his remaining 25,000 into the middle, putting himself all in and at risk.

Rees-Brennan showed up {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the flush, but it was no good. Albert tabled {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for the book, scooping the pot and the double up to over 80,000. On the flip side, that loss knocks Rees-Brennan down to 17,000.
