Lowering of the Tone

Tony Cousineau makes it 425 to go preflop and the big blind makes the call. On the {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} flop, the big blind check-raises his 600 bet 1,800 before also firing 2,675 on the {4-Clubs} turn. On the {5-Spades} river, the big blind moves all-in for 5,000. Cousineau doesn't like the river card and ends up folding. He's left with 7,000.
