Cohen Rises Loudly From the Ashes
Level 7
: 300/600, 50 ante
The board read when we got there, almost 20,000 in the pot. A player whose name we unable to ascertain owing to the medieval table arrangement in here bet out 15,000 to cover Lucien Cohen, who only had a shade over 5,000 left to his name. Cohen deliberated silently for a few moments, before standing up, pushing his stack across the line, and commencing shouting.
Cohen: for a flush draw
Gentleman opponent:
River:
"LE PHOENIX!" cried Mr. Cohen. "LE PHOENIX!!!" flagrantly disobeying the English-only rule and prompting some of the other players at the table to exchange a few looks. Anyway, the EPT Deauville champ eventually sat back down (although it took another couple minutes for the shouting to cease) and is now at 30,000.
