Maurice Cohen Bags Mihai Balaj

Oct 26, 2024

Maurice Cohen opens to 10,000 from the cutoff, and receives a call from Mihai Balaj on the button and Samir Akhoullou in the big blind.

On the Diamond JSpade 6Club 6 flop, action is checked to Balaj, who fires out a bet of 17,000. Only Cohen calls.

On the Heart 4 turn, Cohen check-jams to 110,000 with the covering stack versus a 30,000 bet from Balaj, who gets the rest of it in.

Balaj has Spade QClub J for two pair jacks and sixes, but Cohen has the goods with Diamond 6Diamond 5 for the trip sixes, and the Spade 8 river is not the miracle card Balaj requires to stay in it.

Maurice Cohen – 220,000 (44 bb)
Mihai Balaj – eliminated
