Salomon Cohen (Bethesda, MD)

Action at Table 3 would start with an open from Salomon Cohen (Bethesda, MD) to 2,700, with Kobi Ribak flatting, and the player in the cutoff three-betting to 12,200.  After the button and blinds folded, action would be back on Cohen, who leaned forward to push a stack over 130,000 across his cards (covering both players).  The bet elicited two quick folds, and Solomon would collect the uncontested pot, chipping up to 170,000.

Cohen has one deep run in this series, reaching the final three tables of Event #7 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD).  Salomon would end up finishing 27th in the tournament, adding $1,667 to his prior earnings of over $52,000.  The cash happened to be his first in Florida, with a majority of his results coming from Maryland Live!, Borgata, and the WSOP.
