With three players to the flop, the dealer put out 
. Imad Derwiche checked, Fabrice Soulier checked and Julio Sanchez bet 40,000. Derwiche called and Soulier, as the preflop raiser, check-raised all in for 198,000.
Sanchez called the shove, which put Derwiche in a world of hurt. Eventually, Derwiche open-folded 
with a pained look on his face.
Fabrice Soulier: 
Julio Sanchez: 
Soulier's combodraw was reduced to just the flush outs, as Sanchez held a set of sevens. With Derwiche folding two of Soulier's outs, the French grandmaster was in an even bigger hole and one of the remaining spades to crawl out of it.
The 
turn and 
river were of no help to Soulier. The French pro, who has over $6 million in lifetime winnings, finished in 32nd place.
