Ouch!

"How did that happen?"
"How did that happen?"
Michel Bouskila had his jacket on and one foot out the door after getting his last chips in preflop with {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against Tony Dunst's dominant {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and then seeing a {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} flop.

It appeared all hope was lost, but poker can be a cruel, cruel game. You can probably guess what happened next.

Turn: {7-Diamonds}
River: {J-Clubs}

Runner-runner straight for Bouskila! Dunst maintained complete composure as he uttered through clenched teeth, "How much?" It was 114,000 in total as Bouskila somehow stays alive and doubles through.
