Getting Ratty

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Lucien Cohen
Lucien Cohen

I've covered maybe forty EPT's since it's inception but I have to say there are few odder sights in the poker world than Lucien Cohen when the cameras are on him. He had check-raised all in on a flop of {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts} against Alex Gomes and Hugo Lemaire and stood up stroking his fake rat with a maniacal look on his face, occasionally talking to said rat.

Gomes eventually folded and Lemaire (over whose bet Cohen had shoved) quickly called with {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Cohen, who won EPT Deauville carrying what we would expect was the same rat, triumphantly turned over {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and doubled up after a {7-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river.
