Borteh Busted

Being short stacked Alexander Borteh raised under the gun, and action folded around to James Cohn in the big blind who two bet. Borteh called and liked what he saw on a {6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop because he came out betting after Cohn checked.

With the {9-} on the turn Borteh bet again, putting himself all in. Cohn made the call and flipped up {A-}{K-} for ace high. Somehow Cohn was ahead, because all Borteh was able to produce was {A-}{4-} for ace high with a worse kicker. The river {8-} changed nothing and Cohn won the hand.
