Andy Hwang min-raises from the button to 60,000, Tony Cousineau (pictured) moves all in from the small blind for 305,000, and Vladimir Dobrovolskiy moves all in over the top from the big blind. Hwang folds.
Cousineau shows 99, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive against the AJ of Dobrovolskiy.
The board comes KQ8K8 — Dobrovolskiy flops a gutshot straight draw, but improves no further. Cousineau wins the pot with two pair, kings and nines (barely beating the kings and eights on the board) to double up in chips.
Tony Cousineau – 710,000 (23 bb)
Vladimir Dobrovolskiy – 3,150,000 (105 bb)
