Ponakovs and Beresford Chop Up Thorel
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Conor Beresford raised to 2,500 on the button and was called by Aleksejs Ponakovs and Jean-Noel Thorel in the blinds. The flop fell 
and the action checked around to the 
on the turn.
Thorel was the first to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 3,500. Beresford called and Ponakovs check-raised to 11,000. Thorel and Beresford both called to see the 
on the river.
Ponakovs led out with a small bet of 4,000 which got Thorel to fold. Beresford quickly called and Ponakovs tabled 
for two pair. Beresford shoed 
and the two players chopped up the pot.
