Loucas Picks Off Finck's Bluff

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Christian Loucas made it 3,000 to play from under the gun and found a call from Jerome Finck in the cutoff.

Loucas led out for 3,000 and Finck made the call for the 5 to peel off on the river.

Loucas checked to Finck who fired off a 12,000 river bet. Loucas thought for a while and tossed in the call tabling 66 which was streets ahead of Finck's 109 and total air.
