Cohen Takes from Crespi with a Premium
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Lucien Cohen opened to 550,000 from under the gun. On the button, Joan Crespi three-bet to 1,250,000. Cohen took some time before he put in the call.
The A♠9♦4♣ flop checked through to the 4♦ turn. Cohen checked again and Crespi put out a bet of 500,000 and Cohen snap-called.
The river was the J♦. Cohen checked for a third time and Crespi fired again for 750,000. Cohen quickly decided to just call.
Joan Crespi: A♦2♦
Lucien Cohen: 9♥4♥
Crespi flopped top pair and made the nut flush on the river but Cohen turned a full house. However, Cohen decided just to call on the river, but still won a sizeable pot.
"This hand is worth millions," Cohen would go on to elaborate.
