Souki On the Receiving End of Bad Luck
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dimitar Danchev raised to 11,000 and was called by Jeremy Ausmus before Philippe Souki three-bet to 45,000. Danchev then shoved all in for 258,000, which got Ausmus to fold, but Souki snap-called.
Dimitar Danchev: A♥10♥ 
Philippe Souki: K♥K♣
Souki had just doubled up and was now a commanding favorite to eliminate a player with his pocket kings. However, the dealer had other ideas for Souki as the runout of 3♠A♣8♥8♦A♦ improved Danchev to a full house.
"I'm so unlucky," joked Souki.
