A Flesh Wound for Soulier

We caught up with the action after a flop of {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} when both blinds checked to Fabrice Soulier, who checked behind from the button.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and a bet of 8,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Soulier came along. The small blind bet another 2,000 when the {3-Hearts} landed on the river, and Soulier called again. He mucked his hand when the small blind showed {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the straight.

Soulier still has a very healthy stack of 136,000.
