The tournament shortstack, Michael Raimon, shoved the button and Steve Cohen jammed the small blind for more. Jonathan Labace-Sabastien folded his big blind and Raimon’s tournament life was on the line versus Cohen. Cohen held a slight advantage with Ac9c against the QhJc of Raimon.

The AdKh4s2c2d runout gave Cohen the lead and earned him the pot. Raimon busted 12th earning $8,823.

Raimon is a regular at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. He’s claimed seven tournament catches within its walls including a victory in a $125 event during this summer’s Summer Deep Stack Poker Series.
