Hold'em

Under the gun, Amnon Filippi kicked things off with a raise to 5,000. In the next seat, Tony Cousineau reraised to 18,000, and Bjorn Verbakel made a small four-bet to 33,000. Filippi folded, but Cousineau called all in for his remaining 26,600.

Showdown
Cousineau: {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

Verbakel:

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

The news was pretty bad for Cousineau, but things would get better. The flop was pretty dry, coming {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

and leaving Cousineau drawing to runner-runner. He found the first runner when the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

hit the turn. And sure enough, the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

spiked the board on fifth street, making Cousineau the come-from-way-behind straight.

He's doubled his way up to 62,000, leaving Verbakel under 100,000 for the first time in hours.
