One Out for Soulier? No Problem!

The cry of "All in and a call" was raised at Fabrice Soulier's table. A player with fewer chips than Soulier was all in with {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Soulier was attempting to knock the player out with {9-Spades} {9-Clubs}.

The flop {7-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} was a safe one for Soulier, as it did not improve his opponnt's hand. The table let out a murmur when the {10-Hearts} hit the turn. It made a pair of tens for Soulier's opponent and left Soulier looking for one card, and one card only, to secure the elimination. He needed the {9-Diamonds} to make a set of nines, and got it! The dealer burned and turned the {9-Diamonds} to the gasps and groans of the table.

"One out," said Soulier simply. "On the turn I was like 'not the ten of hearts' and boom, ten of hearts."

Soulier is up to 95,000.
