He's Got Soul

Josh_Cahlik

Level 11

Pot-Limit Omaha

Matthew Kaufman opened to 1,200 from middle position and his only caller was Fabrice Soulier from the button.

The flop brought and Kaufman continued out for 1,600. Soulier called to see the {5c } fall on the turn. Kaufman slowed down with a check and Soulier bet 1,800. Kaufman came over the top for 4,500 total and Soulier replied by three-betting the rest of his stack for about 9,200 total.

"Nice hand," said Kaufman before flinging his cards into the muck.

Soulier was pushed the pot and tabled 75% of his hand- showing . A moment after the hand, someone inquired about what he showed and Soulier insisted he had showed king-eight-four but the rest of the table assured him that it was a queen and not a king. Soulier remained adamant that it was a king.

"Then you had king, queen, four, eight," someone chimed in from across the table which was met with a laugh.

Regardless of his hole cards, Soulier is now sitting on about 20,000 in chips while Kaufman has fallen to around 23,000.
