No Limit Hold'em

Down to his last 145,000 chips (six big blinds), Fabrice Soulier moved all in from the button. Mike Ross called from the big blind, and when the cards were face-up, he shouted to his railbirds, "I'm ahead!"

Soulier: {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Ross: {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Ross had a better starting hand, but his advantage wasn't as decisive as he'd have liked. The board came {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, securing Soulier a double-up.

However, Ross got his revenge in the very next hand. He limped from the small blind and then called Soulier's shove. Ross was slightly ahead again.

Soulier: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Ross: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Shouts from both rails followed, but the loudest voice in the room belonged to Ross. He saw the ace hit the flop and screamed, "Ace!" in celebration. The {8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop couldn't get much worse for Soulier, as he now needed runner-runner to survive.

It wasn't meant to be this time, with the {7-Diamonds} on the turn sealing the win for Ross. The {9-Hearts} river was only a formality as Soulier already knew he was getting the $58,968 third-place prize.
