Soulier Flops Big, Rivers Bigger

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante
Fabrice Soulier
Fabrice Soulier

We get to the table and Fabrice Soulier is in a hand with another player and the flop is {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. All of the chips are in the middle and Soulier's opponent had {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{X-Diamonds} but Soulier has flopped a monster with his {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a flopped straight. The turn is the {5-Spades} keeping Soulier in the lead. The {8-Spades} on the river gave Soulier a full house, fives full of eights, and he scooped the pot and moved to approximately 40,000 in chips.
