Building the Fort

Patrick Fortin raised from the cutoff to 2,500. Salomon Cohen called from the small blind. The flop came down {8-?} {4-?} {2-?}. Cohen bet 4,500 and Fortin raised to 15,000. Cohen then reraised all in and Fortin made the call.

Fortin rolled over {4-?} {2-?} for two pair and Cohen held {10-?} {9-?} for a big bluff.

The turn was the {3-?} and the river the {8-?}. Fortin moved to 237,000 after this hand and is looking strong.
