Toulouse Spikes One Outer to Stay Alive

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We arrived at the table in time to see Mark Toulouse all in and at risk against an opponent on a flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Toulouse was looking good with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for middle set until his opponent flipped over the one hand that bested him - {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for top set.

The {6-Spades} rolled off on the turn, meaning that Toulose needed to spike the last remaining eight in the deck to stay alive. The table let out a collective gasp that silenced the room after the {8-Spades} drilled the river. Toulouse made quad eights and was shipped the double up. His stack now sits at about 24,000.
