Thorel Doubles Through Lococo with a Straight
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened 25,000 in middle position and Alejandro Lococo came along in the big blind.
On the Q♦J♣8♦ flop, Lococo check-called a bet of 29,000.
The 9♥ fell on the turn, and both players checked to see the 9♦ river.
Lococo took the lead, firing 107,000 into the middle, and Thorel jammed all-in for 179,000.
Lococo leaned back in his chair in distress as he tossed time bank chips to the dealer. After a couple of minutes, he made the call.
Thorel tabled 10♣10♥ for a straight, and Lococo showed 8♣4♠ as the dealer pushed the pot to Thorel.
