And The Crowd Goes Wild!

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to Benjamin Volpe in the small blind. After some thought, he decided to move all in. Justin Cohen looked at his cards and immediately asked for a count. The dealer stacked out 730,000 chips and Cohen made the call.

Volpe: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Cohen: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop came out {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} which was no help to either player. It was our all in player, Volpe that needed it and the {8-Clubs} turn only helped give him some extra outs. Now any seven would chop the pot. The river was not a seven but it would hit him hard.

The {k-Diamonds} was peeled off and he gave a mini fist pump before looking at his rail, 20 deep, who were going crazy. After the cheer was over, they immediately began yelling "Cocktails!" like roosters at a barn. Volpe doubles to 1.5 million while Cohen is still alive with 1 million in chips.
