Jesse “JMaster30″ Cohen (pictured at left) has bust from the $1.5K PLO Hi-Low event. We arrived at his table just in time to hear him wishing the rest of his table good luck, but he filled us in on the details later.
Cohen said he made a pot-sized raise to 15K on the button with A-Q-6-3 and the big blind re-raised. He called all in and the big blind turned over A-7-5-4. The board came J-8-5-3-J and Cohen was eliminated.
