Cohen Sings and Dances, Ahuja Calls
Level 39
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Lucien Cohen raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun with Q♦9♦ and the action folded around to Ankit Ahuja in the big blind, who called with J♣9♣.
Both players checked the 8♣8♦7♥ flop, with Ahuja tapping the table again after the J♦ turn. Cohen continued with a bet of 1,500,000 before Ahuja slid out a raise to 4,100,000. Cohen called to see the K♦ river.
Ahuja checked one last time before Cohen fired for 8,500,000 after completing his flush. As Ahuja was taking time to reach a decision, Cohen stood up and began singing and dancing while talking to his opponent.
After a brief smirk, Ahuja elected to make the call and saw the bad news as Cohen extended his commanding chip lead even further.
