Cohen Rises Loudly From the Ashes

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante
Lucien Cohen
Lucien Cohen

The board read {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} when we got there, almost 20,000 in the pot. A player whose name we unable to ascertain owing to the medieval table arrangement in here bet out 15,000 to cover Lucien Cohen, who only had a shade over 5,000 left to his name. Cohen deliberated silently for a few moments, before standing up, pushing his stack across the line, and commencing shouting.

Cohen: {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for a flush draw
Gentleman opponent: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

River: {3-Spades}

"LE PHOENIX!" cried Mr. Cohen. "LE PHOENIX!!!" flagrantly disobeying the English-only rule and prompting some of the other players at the table to exchange a few looks. Anyway, the EPT Deauville champ eventually sat back down (although it took another couple minutes for the shouting to cease) and is now at 30,000.
