Thorel Starts to Gain Momentum
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 12,000 from early position and Derk van Luijk defended out of the big blind.
Van Luijk check-called a bet of 13,000 from Thorel on the K♦4♣6♥ flop.
Both players checked the Q♠ turn for the 6♣ to hit the river. Van Luijk fired out a bet of 25,000 and Thorel quickly called.
Luijk confidently turned over K♠9♣ for top pair, but this was second best to the two pair of Thorel with K♣Q♦ .
