Cohen Scores a Huge Double

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sam Cohen has been given a reward for her grit and determination in this event, a huge double up to over 200,000 chips.

Ben Warrington raised to 9,000 from the cutoff and Cohen responded by three-betting all-in for 93,000 from the button. Ryan Laplante stepped out of the way in the small blind, but Daniel Strelitz re-shoved from the big blind. Warrington folded and the cards of the all-in players revealed.

Cohen: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Strlitz: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

One of tournament poker's many coinflips was what stood between Cohen and the exit door. The {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop was safe for her, as was the {2-Clubs} turn and when the river brought the {Q-Clubs} and Cohen scored a huge double up.

Cohen has played a patient game, picking spots to push her chips into the middle and it's finally paid off.
