added even more outs for Finstein, since he would win if the board paired. Tuthill looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath as if anticipating the end.
"Three of clubs," someone from his rail shouted.

river card.
The next hand, Bryan Devonshire opened for 130,000 in middle position and got three-bet to 375,000 by Finstein, now in the small blind. Devonshire four-bet to 775,000, and Finstein called after a long thought. Two checks followed the 
, though Devonshire took a long time before he passed. The 
turn led to another quick check from Finstein, and Devonshire quickly moved all in. Finstein folded instantly.
