Yan Takes the Rest of Thorel's Chips as he Cracks Kings
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
David Yan opened 8,000 in the cutoff before Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet 20,000 on the button. The blinds folded and after a short deliberation, Yan made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥J♦8♦, and once Yan checked, Thorel shoved his remaining 31,000 into the middle. Yan snap-called.
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♣K♥
David Yan: Q♠9♥
Thorel was ahead with his pair of kings, but the 9♣ turn gave Yan two pair to take the lead and the 5♦ river was no help. With Thorel eliminated, the players combined into one table once again.
