Lucien Cohen Backdoors Into the Nuts

Mar 1, 2020

Minh Tran opens under the gun plus one for 18,000 and Lucien Cohen calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Spade JClub KClub 7 and Cohen leads for 19,000. Tran opts to call in position.

A similar pattern is seen on the Diamond 3 turn. This time, though, Cohen bets a mere 8,000. Again, Tran calls.

The river comes the Heart 6 and Cohen grabs a pile of chips and puts it in the middle: 53,000. Tran wastes little time calling.

Cohen shows Diamond 4Diamond 5 for the backdoor straight. Tran sighs and mucks.

Minh Tran – 170,000
Lucien Cohen – 560,000
