First Win Ever

Jesse Cohen open-shoved his last 20,400 from early position, Matt Jarvis called in middle position, and Brendon Rubie isolated from the blinds. Jarvis released, and the hands were opened.

Cohen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Rubie: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Cohen was in a world of hurt, until the flop came down {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, giving him trips. The turn and river came {6-Hearts}, {8-Spades} respectively, and Cohen tripled up.

"I think that's the first hand I've ever beaten you in," Cohen said to Rubie after the hand. "Live or online."
