Cohen's Straight Cracked On River

On the flop of {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Hearts}, Paul Albino and Joel Cohen got all in for a pot worth 150,000 chips. Albino held {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} to Cohen's {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Albino would need the board to pair in order to overcome Cohen's straight.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and then the river was the {9-Clubs}, giving Albino the board pair he needed to double up. He now has 150,000 while Cohen dropped to 105,000.
