Thorel Has Hook on the Ropes
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu made it 22,000 to go and earned calls from Jean-Noel Thorel and Chalie Hook, the latter of which was in the big blind. The 
flop was checked through and Hook then bet the 
turn for 55,000, forcing out Kisacikoglu and earning a call from Thorel.
Once Hook bet the 
river for 165,000, Thorel snap-called and Hook instantly said "you win" as the Frenchman tabled the 
for trips fives. Hook never showed his cards and dropped below the starting stack.
