Thorel Busts in a Brutal Way
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
David Coleman raised to 21,000 from the hijack before Jean-Noel Thorel jammed for 360,000 from the cutoff. Kayhan Mokri shoved over the top for around 450,000, which forced Coleman to fold.
Jean-Noel Thorel: A♥Q♣ 
Kayhan Mokri: A♦Q♦
Both players had the same hand, so a split seemed like the likely outcome.
Each player picked up a backdoor flush draw on the K♣2♣7♦ flop, and it was Mokri who improved on the 10♦ turn.
The dealer burned a card, then slowly peeled off the 4♦ river to give Mokri a flush. The table let out a few groans as Thorel left the tournament area with a bad beat to tell for his efforts.
