Don't Quarrel with Thorel

Level 4 : 300/600, 75 ante

"What do you know about Jean Noel Thorel?" we asked a member of the French media.

"He's a bit...crazy," replied the unnamed source.

He's not entirely wrong based on earlier evidence but he just squeezed to 4,000 against a raise and a call from Ben Wilinofsky.

Both called to see a {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop but they both folded when Thorel threw out a chunky 10,000 bet.

Pelletier Can't Buy It From Grospellier

Daniel Pelletier saw the {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop against two Team PokerStars Pros, Jason Mercier and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. Pelletier fired 3,100 and Grospellier raised to 7,000. Mercier folded and then Pelletier made the call.

After the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Pelletier check-called a bet of 9,200 from Grospellier. The river then completed the board with the {8-Spades}. Pelletier asked Grospellier how much he had left, then fired 12,000. Grospellier called.

Upon Grospellier getting called, Pelletier mucked his hand as Grospellier showed the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Grospellier moved to 70,000 and Pelletier dropped back to 62,000.

Don't Have a Cao Man

Tobias Renkemeier raised to 1,000 preflop from the cutoff and Rui Cao called on the button. Dani Stern then raised to 3,400 from the big blind but both players made the call to see a flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Stern led out for 4,000 and Renkemeier made the call before Cao opted for a min-raise to 8,000. Stern folded but Renkemeier made the call to see the {Q-Hearts} on the turn.

The German now checked and Cao fired out a bet of 14,300. Renkemeier grasped two 25k chips in his hand and it looked like he was going to set the Frenchman all in, but instead he opted to fold.
