Thorel Bests Watson as Heath Waves Goodbye
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mike Watson raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Jean-Noel Thorel called from the big blind. The 3♦6♦2♣ flop was checked by both players before Thorel led for 15,000 on the 5♣ turn.
Watson called and did so again when Thorel fired 30,000 chips on the 8♠ river. Thorel showed down A♠4♥ for a straight and raked in the pot.
Meanwhile, Ben Heath was eliminated from an adjacent table when his last few chips went in with K♥8♥ against the 10x9x of Adrian Mateos and could not hold.
