Cotescu Eliminated by Moukawem

Ryan Lashmar

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Elias Moukawem opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Sandra Cotescu on the button before a player in the big blind three-bet to 10,000. Both Moukawem and Cotescu made the call.

The flop came J?10?5? and the big blind continued for 11,000, once again receiving calls from both opponents.

Action checked around to Cotescu on the 3? turn and she bet 30,000. The big blind got out of the way while Moukawem made the call.

Moukawem quickly shoved on the Q? river, covering Cotescu who had around 50,000 behind. Cotescu briefly considered her options before calling off with the rest of her stack.

Cotescu had a set with J?J? but Moukawem had rivered a Broadway straight with A?K? to send Cotescu to the rail and take the pot.
