Soulier Blocked Off
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three players still had cards on a flop of J♠Q♦3♦ and they all got their stacks in on this street, with William Mcmahan covering.
Fabrice Soulier: K♠K♦3♣2♦ 
Gary Jablonski: A♦J♦10♥8♣
William Mcmahan: Q♠Q♣9♠9♥
Mcmahan had flopped the nuts with top set, but still had to hold against plenty of outs. Jablonski was drawing to the nut flush and broadway. Soulier, although he would've been drawing extremely live against either of these opponents heads up, realised he was heading home unless he got an extremely specific runout. His diamonds were covered, and even if he managed to hit a set, it would give Soulier Broadway. He had already mucked his cards by the time the 7♥ turn was dealt, and the 5♣ river locked it up for Mcmahan.
