Samantha Cohen Sweet Talks Her Way to a Stack

After making a deep run in Event # 8, another $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, Samantha Cohen was spotted trying better that performance here today.

After two players limped in front of her, Cohen looked down to squeeze the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Rather than try to massage some chips out of her opponents, the outspoken Cohen immediately slid her entire stack of 7,650 into the middle.

The action folded around to the second limper, who immediately began talking to himself, saying "I limped so you would push, but then you did it so fast, now I'm intimidated." Cohen just smiled and waited for his next move, saying "Most men tell me they want it ... but when they get it they're too intimidated."

The bluster may have had its intended effect, because eventually the player went with his initial plan and called Cohen's bet. He turned over his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, placing his stack at risk in the process, but found himself dominated by a better kicker.

With the player asking for queens, the flop came {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and now he began asking for tens instead. After the {2-Clubs} fell on the turn, clubs were the order de jour, but the {A-Diamonds} on the river was no help and he hit the rail.
