Happy_Freaked

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Steve O'Dwyer just won a banana, but more importantly, Jean-Noel Thorel is building a stack in this event again after finishing second in the €25,500 Single-Day High Roller.

After we wrote down the hand that boosted Thorel's stack to 125,000, Steve O'Dwyer explained to us what happened on the hand before. Thomas Muehloecker raised before the flop and the player on the button moved all in for about 35,000 chips. Muehloecker folded to the shove and the all-in player tabled .

On the very next hand it was O'Dwyer who raised from the button and the small blind shove again, this time for 41,000. Thorel made de call from the big blind and O'Dwyer folded, after which the showdown played out as follows.

Thorel:
Opponent:

The board ran out and Thorel raked in the pot, and the knocked-out player threw his banana into the pot as well as he left the tournament. Thorel was pushed the pot, and the banana, but he surrendered the latter and O'Dwyer snapped it up.

While Thorel stacked some newly won chips, O'Dwyer peeled his banana and both players seemed equally happy with the outcome of this hand.
