Cousineau Hunting For Another Cash
Jul 14, '13
 The man with 59 WSOP cashes is here to notch up another one, but it’s of course not going to count for the list he’s currently 13th on. Cousineau is tied with David Chiu and Mike Sexton and just one cash behind Berry Johnston and Chau Giang. Cousineau has a long way to go if he wants to be the number one on this list as Phil Helmuth leads the way with 99 cashes.
This year Cousineau added another five cashes to the list, his best result coming in sixth in the $5,000 Seven Card Stud hi/lo for $44,543. Today Cousineau is tying to make another run for it, but there’s still a very long way to go before the money will be within reach.

Bronshtein and Leah called and on fifth street it was Ashton who led out again. Leah raised this time and then Bronshtein called all in. Ashton and Leah continued to bet and raise through sixth and seventh street but when the cards were revealed it was clear they were chasing different sides of the pot. Leah had a full house for the high and Ashton made a wheel for the low. That left nothing for Bronshtein, who was eliminated in fifth place.

Big Hands:
Jonathan Aguiar Takes a Hit
The hijack raised to 700 preflop and the big blind and Jonathan Aguiar made the call on the button. The flop fell A 4 2 and the hijack bet 1,100. Aguiar made the call and the big blind mucked. Both players check the J on the turn and also the 5 on the river. The hijack flipped over K J and Aguiar mucked.
Flushed
Cody Slaubaugh raised to 750 preflop UTG+1 and Tony Cousineau made the call from the big blind. The flop fell 7 6 5 and Slaubaugh bet 1,200. Cousineau made the call and then both players checked the 6 on the turn. The 9 followed on the river and Cousineau bet 3,000. Slaubaugh made the call, but he mucked when Cousineau revealed A 3 for the flush.
Soi Nguyen Eliminated
Four players saw a 8 7 3 flop for a 1,300 entry fee. Soi Nguyen raised to 3,500 after an initial raise worth 1,000. One opponent reraised enough to force Nguyen to make an all-in call. Nguyen made that call with pocket aces but he quickly found out he was in a terrible predicament when his opponent turned over pocket threes. Nguyen was eliminated after the turn and river brought bricks.
Greg Raymer Doubles Up
Tomer Berda raised preflop and Greg Raymer reraised all in. Berda made the call and they flipped over their cards:

Tony Cousineau Busts, Ronnie Bardah Triples
Nov 14, '10
 Tony Cousineau moved all in from under the gun for his last 20,400 and Joseph Curcio moved all in behind him to isolate.
That play didn’t work out so well when Ronnie Bardah called all in from the button for his last 41,200. Cousineau had the worst of it with AQ and he was dominated by Curcio’s AK. Both players, however, were in terrible shape against Bardah’s pocket kings.
The board fell J9783 and Bardah tripled up. Cousineau was eliminated and Curcio was left with just over 20,000 in chips.
