Thorel Builds Stack
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel has picked up quite a few chips early on to close the gap to overnight leader Julian Stuer.
First, Ye Zhang raised to 16,000 from the button and Thorel three-bet to 56,000, forcing a fold from Zhang.
Then, Thorel limped in from the small blind and Connor Drinan raised to 16,000, Thorel called. After the 
flop, the action went check, check. On the 
turn, Thorel bet 10,000 and Drinan folded.
