Cohen Doubles Straight Out of the Gate
Sam Cohen has had a bit of luck here in Melbourne. Last year she finished eighth in this very event for AU$120,000, and this year she's primed to make another deep run after doubling on just the third hand of the day.
A giddy Cohen recently stopped by our media desk to tell us the good news. According to her a player had opened for 225 preflop, another player three-bet to 750, and she called from the big blind with the 
. The original raiser came along, and then the dealer put out the flop... 
. Cohen had flopped the nuts, there was some action, and then the 
was put out on the turn.
Cohen checked, the original raiser bet 3,000, and the other player called. Cohen had some history with the bettor, so she took advantage of her image by jamming her entire stack of 27,000 or so. Sure enough, he made the call while the other player folded.
Cohen's opponent had also flopped a flush, and was actually drawing live to a straight flush. Fortunately for Cohen, the river was safe and she scored the elimination while simultaneously doubling her stack.
