Couden Wins Last One Before Break
Level 30
: 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Joey Couden raised to 250,000 and Bruno Fitoussi called in the big. They checked the 
flop and Fitoussi checked the 
turn again. Couden bet 175,000 and Fitoussi cut out a raise. He put in only 300,000 so he had to add two more red chips to make it 350,000 for a double raise. Couden called.
The 
river was quickly checked and Fitoussi showed 
but Couden immediately rolled over 
for trips and took down the pot.
That was the last hand of the 10th level of the day but the players used the option to play one extra level tonight. They took a 15-minute break and then come back to continue in level 60,000/120,000.
