Therme Doubles Up Among Early Onslaught
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jonathan Therme had raised under the gun and Laurent Azout put in a three-bet to 7,500.
The action folded back to Therme, who put in his stack of 48,000. Azout asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter.
Jonathan Therme: A♥A♦
Laurent Azout: J♠J♦
Therme's aces faced no resistance on the Q♦2♥9♦6♥5♦ board, and he booked a comfortable double-up to get an above-average stack.
Meanwhile, players on other tables were less lucky as the first names are flying out in the early minutes of Day 2.
