Wellendorf Increases Stack After Opponent Suffers from Too Many Outs Syndrome

Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
All the chips went into the middle after the big blind shoved for 96,000 and was called by John Wellendorf.
Big Blind: 7?6?
John Wellendorf: A?J?
Wellendorf was ahead, and technically still was after the flop of 8?5?5?, but statistically, the big blind had a 65% chance of victory by hitting any four, six, seven, eight, or club.
The J? reduced the number of outs for the big blind on the turn and the K? river petered out any hopes for the big blind.
