Tim Finne raised to 120,000 from the button only to have Roch Cousineau three-bet to 420,000 from the small blind. After Steven Loube folded the big, Finne four-bet and Cousineau got all in for 735,000.
Showdown
Cousineau:
Finne:
The flop was interesting as it gave Cousineau the nut flush, but also provided Finne a set. Unfortunately for the latter, the turn gave Cousineau full-house blockers. Finne now needed a low card to take half the pot of the last remaining seven.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the . With that, Cousineau doubled and left Finne as the short stack.
After several hours passed between the last two eliminations, it appears players have come back from the dinner break ready to speed things up a bit.
On just the second hand back, Steven Loube opened with a pot-sized raise to 210,000 from the button, Timothy Finne folded the small blind, then Roch Cousineau repotted from the big blind. Loube reraised all in response, and Cousineau called.
Cousineau:
Loube:
"Oh man, if I lose this," said Loube, imagining the worst. But the board rolled out , and just like that Loube is our new chip leader.
With Cameron Mckinley down to his last 45,000 and in the small blind, both Steven Loube and Timothy Finne limped in, Mckinley was all in, and Roch Cousineau checked from the big blind. All three of the remaining players checked down the flop, turn, and river.
The tabling of cards commenced, and when Mckinley spied how the of Steven Loube had given him a straight, Mckinley mucked his cards, the crowd cheered his fourth-place run, and the three remaining players left for the dinner break
Roch Cousineau raised to 100,000 under the gun and received a call from Cameron Mckinley in the big blind. The latter checked the flop, but then woke up with a check-raise to 250,000 when his opponent bet 100,000. Cousineau made the call and then watched Mckinley move all in for around 620,000 on the turn.
Cousineau, who had 570,000, shrugged and put his chips in the pot.
Showdown
Cousineau:
Mckinley:
"Big card and I scoop," Cousineau said as he held the nut low and two pair. Much to the delight of his supporters, that's exactly what he got when the peeled off on the river.
Mckinley got up to leave after the hand, but after the stacks were counted down, it was discovered he was left with 45,000.
Roch Cousineau opened for 175,000 from the cutoff, Timothy Finne raised the pot from the big blind, and Cousineau called with the 275,000 or so he had left.
Cousineau:
Finne:
The five community cards came , giving Finne the high (queens and nines) and Cousineau the low (7-5-4-3-A) for a split pot.
Cousineau would see flops on the next two hands — both limped pots — and would take both down with pot-sized bets on the flop, thus nearly doubling his stack.
Cameron Mckinley was under the gun and came out firing to the tune of 175,000. Roch Cousineau made the call from the button, and after the blinds got out of the way, the flop fell .
Mckinley slid out 350,000, leaving just 50,000 behind, and Cousineau moved in. Mckinley called off and the hands were tabled:
Showdown
Cousineau:
Mckinley:
Cousineau was ahead with kings, but Mckinley was drawing live to a lot of low outs. The turn was not one of them and Mckinley got out of his seat and began putting on his backpack, but then the spiked on the river to give him a pair of aces for the scoop.
Cousineau sat silent as he dropped to just 460,000 while his rail bemoaned the unlucky river card.
We just saw a couple of consecutive hands with flops that we can report.
Just now Tim Finne limped from the button, Cameron Mckinley called from the small blind, and Roch Cousineau checked his option. The flop came . Mckinley quickly led for 85,000, Cousineau folded, and Finne called. The turn was the . This time Mckinley checked, Finne bet 190,000, and Mckinley let it go.
On the next hand Finne was limping in again from under the gun, and Cousineau called from the small blind. Steven Loube made it 200,000 to go from the big blind, Finne called, and Cousineau folded. The flop came , Loube fired a pot-sized bet of 450,000, and after a little thought Finne folded.
It's been three hours and ten minutes since the last elimination, which means four-handed action has been taking place for right around 170 minutes (don't forget there was a 20-minute break in there).
Needless to say, the players are content to play patiently and make as few mistakes as possible.
