Cousineau Crippled

Roch Cousineau open-raised to 150,000 from the small blind, then Steven Loube didn't waste any time raising pot to 450,000. Cousineau thought a while, then called.

Both checked the {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop. The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and a bet of 375,000 from Cousineau. Loube rechecked his cards, exhaled, then announced he was reraising all in. Cousineau sat with his mouth open for a moment as he contemplated what to do with the 725,000 or so he had behind.

Finally, after about a half-minute, he called.

Cousineau: {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Loube: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

"High card," said Loube. He had two pair, while Cousineau was hoping to make a low and/or fill a wheel wrap. Then came the river — the {J-Hearts}!

The chips were counted down, and it was discovered Cousineau had had Loube covered by just 60,000, thus enabling Cousineau to play at least one more hand.
