Roch Doubles Up to Even it Out

Roch Cousineau had the button and raised it up to 175,000. Viacheslav Zhukov called in the big blind and then both players checked the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} flop. On the {6-Hearts} turn, Zhukov led for 250,000 and Cousineau called. The {3-Spades} river would see Zhukov lead with a pot-sized bet and Cousineau call. Here is how the cards looked.

Cousineau: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Zhukov: {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Cousineau had the nut flush and the nut low, enough to send Zhukov's cards in the muck and take the double up.

Zhukov Moves Ahead... Again

Viacheslav Zhukov had the button and raised it up to 175,000. Roch Cousineau called and then both players checked the {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. ON the {j-Spades} turn, Cousineau bet 300,000 and Zhukov called. Both players checked the {3-Diamonds} river and we would go to showdown.

Zhukov: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Zhukov's queens were enough to scoop up the pot as his lead is increased over Cousineau.
