Sfez Doubles Up Through Thorel

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Eric Sfez raised to 55,000 from the button and Jean-Noel Thorel called out of the big blind. Thorel bet the {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop for 50,000 and quickly called the 250,000-raise of Sfez. On the {K-Hearts} turn, Sfez immediately moved all in and Thorel asked for a count. It was another 301,000 if he wanted to see the cards of his opponent and the Frenchman did so.

Sfez tabled his {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} and Thorel let out an "ohh" before revealing his own {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}. The {10-Hearts} river let Sfez celebrate, as he shipped a vital double up.
