Cohen Powers Up, Takes Down Pot
Matthew Cohen found himself in the small blind and watched some heavy action before he acted.
A player in early position raised 700 and then a player in late position three-bet to 1,700.
Cohen then looked down at his cards and four-bet to 4,500, which forced out the original raiser. The player in late position flatted.
The dealer fanned 4♠7♦K♠ on the flop, after which Cohen led out for 3,000. His opponent called.
The turn showed 10♥ and Cohen didn’t slow down with a 4,500 bet. Cohen’s action caused anxiety for his opponent, who alternated looks between his hand and the board. After a few moments, he showed J♣J♦ before mucking his hand.
“That’s respect,” Cohen’s opponent said.
Cohen then showed K♣ in return before giving his hand to the dealer.
“That was a very good flop for me,” Cohen replied.
