Jewell vs. Cohen: "Did I Give You too Much Credit?
A tale of two chip stacks tell us that Aryeh Cohen entered the day as the chip leader with 180,00 and Kurt Jewell was a re-entry that began with a measly 20,000. Now the two are even in chips. Needless to say, it's been a good Day 2 for Jewell, and it got a little better after he took a decent pot off Cohen.
We caught the action with three players in the hand and around 20,000 in the pot on a board reading . A player in middle position had checked to Jewell, and he bet 11,500. Cohen called from the cutoff, the other player folded, and it was heads-up action to the river.
Jewell immediately slid out a big bet of 28,300 and Cohen hit the tank. Several minutes passed in which Cohen counted out chips and looked back at his cards, but ultimately he decided that folding was the thing to do.
"Did I give you too much credit?" Cohen asked after he sent his cards to the muck. There was no response.
