Sarouphim Misses a Tonne of Outs to Bust
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With around 35,000 in the middle, Philippe Sarouphim led out for 20,000 from the small blind on a flop of 9♦8♠4♠. Zhao Cheng called from the big blind before Nikolay Fal raised to 75,000 from the cutoff. Sarouphim put in the rest of his chips, which amounted to 79,000 total. Cheng folded, and Fal called the extra few thousand to put Sarouphim at risk.
Philippe Sarouphim: Q♠10♠ 
Nikolay Fal: J♦J♣
Sarouphim had a tonne of outs he could hit to double-up through Fal. However, the rest of the board came 5♦7♦, leaving Sarouphim with just queen-high. He was sent to the rail and Fal dragged in the pot.
