Thorel Gets It in Behind
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
David Yan raised to 165,000 from under the gun. Jean-Noel Thorel, in early position, moved all in for 710,000. Yan used two time banks before making a frustrated call.
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♥J♦
David Yan: K♣Q♥
Thorel was dominated and the 6♣Q♠10♥ flop gave Yan top pair. The J♠ turn took away some of Thorel's straight outs and made a chopped pot a possible outcome. The 9♠ gave both players a straight and the pot was chopped; a lucky escape for Thorel.
