Pather Has Cooke Dead on the Turn

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kathy Cooke

Three ways to the 10KJ flop with 115,000 in the pot, Mark Rubin checked from the big blind and Kathy Cooke bet 60,000 from the hijack. Kinesh Pather raised to 160,000 on the button, which only Cooke called.

Cooke knuckled it over to Pather on the 6 turn and Pather bet 250,000, leaving himself with just 130,000 behind. Cooke check-jammed and Pather snap-called to put himself at risk.

Kinesh Pather: JJ All in
Kathy Cooke: J10

Pather had a set of jacks, leaving Cooke drawing dead with two pair. An irrelevant 9 arrived on the river, and Pather secured the double-up.

Cooke was left with just a few big blinds and was eliminated shortly afterward.
