Alan Cohen (Brooklyn, NY)$4,349
The man with 9 lives runs out of luck in third place, but it caps off a profitable 20th anniversary spent away from his wife. "She knew I was coming here," he says, "but we just got back from a great vacation."
Cohen's third place finish in this tournament, which began the day of his anniversary, April 28th, his followed by his 20th place finish ($547) in Event 21, which concluded on the same date. "I'm going to go and buy her a nice gift," he says.
Cohen was walking to the rail twice at the final table, but was saved by the river both times. The first time came 8-handed when he was dominated AK vs AJ, but the board double paired for a chopped pot. The second near elimination came 5 handed when he held A♦ K♦ against the 5♥ 5♠ of Neil Dever. Cohen hits the A♣ on the river to win the coin flip and eventually moves up two spots on the pay scale.
Cohen's tournament ends with 8 9 against Brian Correro who has 9 10 and turns a straight when a jack hits the board.
