Thorel Busts First Bullet
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Clement Kerrien opened to 1,200 from the hijack before Jean-Noel Thorel made it 3,000 to go from the button. Vladimir Lipnitskii then put in a four-bet to 8,000 from the big blind and only Thorel called.
Lipnitskii continued for 3,000 on the 7♥9♥K♠ flop, which Thorel called. The 7♦ turn saw Lipnitskii slow down with a check, after which Thorel instantly moved all in for 15,600. Lipnitskii took a bit of time but eventually made the call to put France's all-time money leader at risk.
Jean-Noel Thorel: J♣9♣
Vladimir Lipnitskii: J♠J♦
Lipnitskii had Thorel's pair dominated, and the 5♦ river did nothing to change that. Thorel took his leave while Lipnitskii stacked his newly acquired chips.
