Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in 3rd Place (€173,900)
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised to 120,000 from the button and Jean-Noel Thorel jammed in his stack of 800,000 or so chips from the big blind. A snap call followed from Chidwick, and the cards were tabled.
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♦3♦
Stephen Chidwick: A♦Q♦
Chidwick flopped two pair on 8♦A♣8♣, and the 5♣ turn had Thorel drawing dead. He graciously took his exit as the 4♦ river rolled off, leaving Chidwick and Adrian Mateos to battle heads up with nearly even stacks.
