Aryeh Cohen Takes Advantage

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The floor was called over to table 50 so we followed them over to see what the problem was.

On a board reading {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, the dealer had prematurely dealt the turn card. It would have been the {10-Clubs}. Instead, the action was completed with a bet of 1,500 and Aryeh Cohen called in position while the rest of the players folded. The dealer was instructed to deal the natural river as the turn card. She placed the {3-Diamonds} down and this time the player first to act led for 2,000. He was greeted with a raise to 5,500 by Cohen and decided to call.

The {10-Clubs} was scooped back up and placed in the remaining deck and shuffled. Cohen looked back at the floor staff member and said, "I thought the ten of clubs was the river?" and then quickly shot back around. Instead, the river was the {5-Clubs} and the first player checked. Cohen fired 5,000 and after a brief deliberation, his opponent threw in the big 5,000-chip.

Cohen tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} while his opponent slammed down the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Cohen took advantage of the set-over-set situation to push himself up to 37,000.
