Cohen Blanked by Balaban

[user38449]
[user38449]
Julian Cohen has just been eliminated from the tournament by Tim Balaban. The two traded preflop raises until Cohen was all in; Balaban had him covered:

Showdown:
Cohen: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Balaban: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The window card was the {J-Clubs} which gave Cohen a set, and he held the lead through the turn as the board filled out {J-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. Fortunes changed on the river, however, as the {10-Clubs} popped off giving Balaban a Broadway straight for the win.

Balaban stacked up 75,000 in chips after the hand.
