The Flat Four-Bet Shove

There was a raise to 65,000 in early position and Justin Cohen flatted in position. It folded to Robbie Verspui in the big blind and he decided to raise to 185,000. The initial raiser folded and Cohen quickly moved all in for about 700,000 total. Verspui wasted no time in making the call and flipped over {q-Spades} {q-Diamonds} . Although he seemed slightly nervous he was beat, he seemed almost more nervous when Cohen tabled {k-Clubs} {q-Clubs} because now he could take a bad beat for a lot of chips.

Cohen stood up while the flop was dealt out but Verspui opted to sit and stare down the board. The flop was {a-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and Cohen picked up a club draw and a gut-shot straight draw. Along with his overcard, he needed one of 15 remaining cards in order to keep his hopes of winning a bracelet alive. The turn was the {j-Clubs} and hit both his strait and flush draw. A member of the rail asked him which he wanted to play and Cohen just laughed.
