Big One for Finne

Tim Finne raised to 100,000 from the button and Roch Cousineau defended from the big blind. The latter proceeded to check-call a bet of 135,000 on the {5-Spades}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop, only to have Finne fire a healthy 475,000 bet on the {K-Hearts} turn after action was checked to him.

Cousineau wasted little time in flinging his cards to the muck, allowing Finne to essentially even up stacks with him.

Rolling with Roch

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Roch Cousineau opened with a raise to 95,000 from the small blind, then Steven Loube potted from the big blind for 285,000, forcing a fold.

"Rocky" tried again the next hand, raising to 85,000 from the button, and Timothy Finne called from the big blind. The flop came {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {2-Spades}. Finne checked again, Cousineau fired 105,000, and Finne passed.

Slow Going

Action folded to Roch Cousineau on the button and he raised to 85,000, which Steven Loube and Tim Finne called from small and big blinds respectively. All three players proceeded to check it down as the board ran out {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Cousineau rolled over {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{K-Spades} for the low, while Loube's {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} took the high. It wasn't much of a hand, but it's indicative of the sort of action we've seen here in Level 25.

"Yul Brynner!"

Event 27: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. winner Ylon Schwartz is here with a friend, railing in support of Timothy Finne. Just now the two of them began calling out names of various bald actors, as if to suggest their resemblances with Finne.

"Telly Savalas!" The late Kojak star actually played at the WSOP frequently during the 1970s and '80s, even final-tabling a seven-card stud event once.

"Telly Savalas is better than Yul Brynner," said a smiling Finne in response before turning his attention back to the game. Meanwhile, Schwartz and his friend continued their game.

"Ving Rhames!" "Patrick Stewart!" "Ben Kingsley...!"

"Louis Gosset, Jr., baby!"

Finne Keeps the Ball Rolling

After action folded to him in the small blind, Steven Loube raised to 120,000 and received a call from Tim Finne in the big. The {Q-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Spades} flop saw Loube check, Finne fired out 125,000, and Loube simply fold.

It wasn't much of a hand, but it added to Finne's stack while Loube continued to slide.

Finne Quarters Lappas

Timothy Finne continues to add to his stack during the early part of Level 25. Just now he opened for 80,000 from the button and got a single caller in Roch "Rocky" Cousineau in the big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and when Cousineau checked, Finne bet 100,000. Cousineau thought for a few moments, then called.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds}. Cousineau checked again, and this time Finne promptly pushed out a tall stack of orange (5,000) chips for a bet of 275,000. Cousineau again waited a few moments, but this time let his hand go.

Finne Takes Some From Loube

Action folded to Steven Loube in the small blind and he raised to 100,000, which Tim Finne called from the big blind. The {J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop saw Loube lead out for 125,000, prompting Finne to raise to 450,000 total, leaving just 70,000 or so behind.

"Nice hand," Loube said as he sent his cards to the muck.
