Royce Cohen Tanks With Trips, Takes It Down

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

With the board reading {J-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}, WSOP Circuit grinder Bryce Cohen was faced with an all-in bet of 2,600, and he elected to mull his options in methodical fashion.

Asking himself "pocket pair or king-jack," Cohen tanked for a minute or two before plunking a stack of calling chips into the middle. His opponent eagerly reached for his hand and turned over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for trip jacks, but Cohen calmly revealed the {A-Hearts}{Jc) for trips with top kicker.

As he collected the spoils of victory, Cohen explained his reasoning for the long tank, saying "he could have pocket sevens there" before explaining that his opponent's previous play made it easier to call.
