Van Alstyne Crippled

[user22113]

Avi Cohen has just taken a massive pot off James Van Alstyne, leaving James in very bad shape.

We caught up with the action on the turn. The board was {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

.

There was nearly 100,000 in the pot and Van Alstyne was facing Cohen's all in bet of nearly 150,000. Van Alstyne went into the tank until someone called the clock on him. He made the call as his hand was counted down and rolled over {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

. Cohen held the nuts with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{A-Spades}

.

The river was the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and Cohen has jumped up the leaderboard while Van Alstyne is almost busted.
