Jean-Noel Thorel hasn't been seated for long, but didn't take too much time before he got involved in a couple of hands.
First, Tom Fuchs raised the cutoff to 2,500 and Thorel called in the small blind. Tamas Adamszki, who just sat down, called in the big blind.
The flop came 4♦3♣3♥, which checked around to Fuchs, who bet 3,000. Thorel called and Adamszki folded. A 6♣ hit the turn where Thorel check-called a bet of 15,000 from Fuchs.
When the 5♣ landed on the river, Thorel led for 15,000. and that got Fuchs to fold.
Two hands later, Seth Davies raised from early position and Thorel three-bet the cutoff to 9,000. Davies called.
On the 10♥8♠J♦ flop, Davies check-called a bet of 15,000 from Thorel to the 7♠ turn, where again Davies checked. Thorel didn't slow down and fired 35,000, which earned him the pot as Davies let it go.
Teun Mulder raised from the small blind and Sameh Elamawy called out of the big blind.
Mulder check-called a bet of 2,000 from Elamawy on the A♥2♣6♦ flop.
The turn came the 8♣ and Mulder check-called another bet from Elamawy, this time for 5,000.
Two checks came after the 3♦ river and Mulder turned over K♥K♠ for a pair of kings. Elamawy nodded his head to indicate they were good, then returned his cards to the dealer.
[Removed:548] raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Jesse Lonis to 7,000 from the button. Leon Sturm cold four-bet the small blind to 20,000, which only Lonis called.
Sturm continued with a bet of 15,500 on the 7♦6♥5♣ flop, and Lonis made the call.
Two checks followed the Q♣ turn and J♦ river. Sturm tabled 9♣9♠ for a pair of nines, which was good to win him the pot as Lonis turned over 8x8x.
