Avi Cohen
In a hand that saw zero action on the flop and turn, sparks were flying on the river as Avi Cohen attempted to take the pot away from David Tran with a bluff.
The board read and Cohen checked to Tran who fired out a 350,000 bet. When the action got back around to Cohen, he announced "raise," and proceeded to up the ante to 1,900,000!
The monster raise sent Tran into the tank for a moment, but he eventually made the call. Cohen revealed for nothing but ace high, and Tran showed for an ace-high flush.
For those wondering why Tran did not reraise Cohen on the river, Tran explained, "He could've had a straight flush."

Ray Henson's chips (left) have the quantitative advantage over Scott Freeman's chips (right), but Freeman's chips have position
Ray Henson (first in chips with about 8.5 million) and Scott Freeman (third in chips with about 6.5 million) are seated right next to each other at Table #2.
In this photo (taken during the break), Henson's chips are on the left (seat 3) and Freeman's chips are on the right (seat 4). A lot of Henson's higher-denomination chips (25,000) are difficult to see from this angle, but trust us, they're there.
With a little over 127,000,000 in play, these two players control about 11.8 percent of all the chips in the tournament.
