Showdown
Baker:
Cousineau:
It was a bad spot for Baker as Cousineau held the better heart draw, an open-ended straight draw, and low outs if it came runner-runner. The turn was a dagger through Baker's heart as it gave Cousineau the said straight, while the sent him out the door in fourth place and putting an end to his dreams of a second bracelet.
A few orbits of folding his blinds and Chris Bell was left extremely short. What looked like the last hand of Bell's tournament began when Bell raised it up to 150,000 in the small blind. Roch Cousineau called in the big blind and a flop was dealt. Bell shoved for around 125,000 here and Cousineau immediately called.
Cousineau:
Bell:
Bell was so far behind that he thought it was all over, even shaking Cousineau's hand. When the hit the turn, Bell's rail exploded with cries for a nine. It wouldn't be a nine though, with the instead falling on the felt, giving Bell the higher end of the straight and sending him the miracle double up.
The 2012 World Series of Poker continued on Thursday as the final 31 runners of a 526-player field returned to battle it out for the Event 58: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better title. After ten levels of play, a winner was still undetermined, which meant the remaining three players will return for an impromptu Day 4 and battle it out for the gold bracelet and $330,277 first-place prize.
The man with the best chance of capturing the title is Viacheslav Zhukov, who bagged up 2.26 million and finished as the chip leader. Standing in his way are Roch Cousineau and Chris Bell, who sit with 1.64 million and 835,000 respectively.
