Thorel Takes it on the River
Level 12
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu made it 30,000 to go in the cutoff and Sean Winter called on the button, as did Jean-Noel Thorel in the small blind. The flop brought 
and just Thorel check-called a continuation bet by Negreanu.
After the 
turn, Thorel checked and Negreanu now made it 125,000 to go, which the Frenchman called. The 
river completed a possible flush draw and Thorel bet 150,000. That was enough to avoid a showdown, as Negreanu slid his cards into the muck.
