Margets Busts Thorel With Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Leo Margets open-raised to 1,300 from early position and Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 5,300. Margets then four-bet to 11,800 and Thorel called.
The flop came 7♣10♣Q♥ and Margets fired out a continuation-bet of 6,500, which Thorel called. The turn came the 4♣ and Margets checked. Thorel bet 20,000, leaving himself just 1,500 behind. Margets pushed all in and Thorel called for his remaining chips.
Thorel had 2♣2♠ and Margets had A♣A♠ for pocket aces with a higher flush draw, leaving Thorel drawing to a deuce.
The river was the 3♣ and Margets further improved to an ace-high flush. She won the pot and chipped up to around 100,000, while Thorel was eliminated.
