Huge Double Up For Thorel
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Just before the end of the level, Jean-Noel Thorel defended his blind to see a flop of 
and the Frenchman as well as initial raiser Garret Gruener checked. On the 
turn, Thorel check-called a bet of 60,000 and checked again on the 
river. Gruener moved all in and was snap-called to shrug and then say "you win" before turning over the 
for complete air.
Thorel's 
scooped the pot and Gruener was left with less than two big binds.
