Avi Cohen Makes a Bold Bluff; David Tran Looks Him Up

Avi Cohen
Avi Cohen
In a hand that saw zero action on the flop and turn, sparks were flying on the river as Avi Cohen attempted to take the pot away from David Tran with a bluff.

The board read {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Cohen checked to Tran who fired out a 350,000 bet. When the action got back around to Cohen, he announced "raise," and proceeded to up the ante to 1,900,000!

The monster raise sent Tran into the tank for a moment, but he eventually made the call. Cohen revealed {A-Spades}{4-Spades} for nothing but ace high, and Tran showed {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} for an ace-high flush.

For those wondering why Tran did not reraise Cohen on the river, Tran explained, "He could've had a straight flush."

After the hand, Cohen dropped to 2,200,000 in chips, while Tran improved to 5,800,000.
