Thorel Knocks Out Stern in Remarkable Hand
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Zvi Stern was missing from the table, but luckily for us his former neighbor Bart Lybaert knew exactly what had happened. He told us the hand with a smile on his face, stating it was rather bizarre.
From the cutoff, Zvi Stern raised to 6,500 only to be met by a button three-bet from Jean-Noel Thorel. Stern called and the flop came 
. Stern now open shipped his last 70,000 or so, and Thorel called.
Zvi Stern: 
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
The 
on the turn gave Thorel a flush draw he didn't even need, and the 
completed the board. With just ace high really, Thorel took down the huge pot.
