Cousineau Survives Chop, Then Chips Up

Roch Cousineau opened for 175,000 from the cutoff, Timothy Finne raised the pot from the big blind, and Cousineau called with the 275,000 or so he had left.

Cousineau: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Finne: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

The five community cards came {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, giving Finne the high (queens and nines) and Cousineau the low (7-5-4-3-A) for a split pot.

Cousineau would see flops on the next two hands — both limped pots — and would take both down with pot-sized bets on the flop, thus nearly doubling his stack.
