Cohen Continues to Roll

Andrew Cohen raised to 32,000 on the button and Jesse Yaginuma moved all in for 98,000 more from the small blind. The big blind folded and Cohen made the call.

Cohen: {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Yaginuma: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The flop of {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} gave Cohen a flush draw. He couldn't get there on the {A-Diamonds} turn but hit the {J-Hearts} on the river. Yaginuma was eliminated while Cohen brought his big stack up to 1.5 million.

Cohen is going for his second WSOP bracelet, having won the Casino Employees event in 2009.

Last Woman Eliminated

Cherie Beasley
Cherie Beasley

Cherie Beasley was seen exiting the tournament area. Another player informed us that she was all in for 120,000 with {K-}{J-} and was called by Keith Lehr's {A-}{K-}.

The board ran out ten high and Beasley was eliminated. She was the last woman remaining in the tournament and made an impressive run deep into Day 2.

That's Howe Do It!

Erich Kollmann raised to 39,000 only to have Kevin Howe push for a total of 107,000. Kollman made the call and showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and was far ahead Howe's {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop looked innocent enough when it came {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, but the {Q-Spades} on the turn changed everything. Howe avoided disaster on the river when it came the {9-Clubs} and doubled to 228,000. Kollmann is down to 150,000.
