Thurlow Nearing Seven Figures

Nghia Le opened to 36,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Justin Thurlow, who was on the button, and James Lawrence who defended his big blind. Action went three ways to the flop and Lawrence checked. Le made a continuation-bet of 45,000 and got a call from Thurlow and a fold from Lawrence.

With action heads up, the turn came and both players checked. The river came and Le checked to Thurlow, who slid out a stack of T5,000 chips with one hand while putting out another one of them next to it for a bet of 105,000. Le went into the tank for over a minute and then called.

Thurlow showed for a rivered flush after having flopped a gutshot five-high straight flush draw to earn the pot, bringing him to around 970,000 in chips with the end of Level 21 in close sight.
