Bichon Dodges "84" Outs to Double Up

Thomas Bichon moved all in for 160,000 from the button and was called by Steven Fung in the big blind. At the showdown, Fung tabled {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, not too far behind Bichon's {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

The board filled out {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Spades} by the turn, and Fung had outs to make a straight, a flush and even a pair, but the {7-Diamonds} completed the board, missing Fung completely and allowing Bichon to double up to 354,000 in chips.

"You hit all kind of crap hands and then you miss that one," joked Jonathan Little. "84 outs you had."
