Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Finstein opened to 115,000 from the hijack and found calls from Mark Newhouse in the cutoff and William Cole on the button. The blinds folded, allowing the trio to see 
hit the felt. Finstein checked, Newhouse bet 175,000, and Cole let his hand go.
Finstein thought for a moment before sliding out a check-raise to 500,000. Newhouse quickly threw his hand away and Finstein took the pot.
