Fabrice Soulier Stays Active

Action folded around to the small blind who moved all in for approximately 7,000. Fabrice Soulier called from the big blind. The players showed:

Soulier: {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Soulier was dominated in the hand, but by the river that wouldn't be the case. The board ran out {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades} and Soulier's nut straight was best. He is now hovering around the 22,000 chip mark.
