Roch Closing In

Viacheslav Cousineau had the button and made the call. Roch Cousineau checked out of the big blind and a {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop was dealt. Cousineau check-called a bet of 100,000 here and the both players checked the {10-Diamonds} turn and the {j-Diamonds} river. Cousineau then tabled {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, which was enough to send Zhukov's cards into the muck and scoop up the pot.
