"Ooh La La!" Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in Monster Pot

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

Kfir Ivgi opened for 25,000 and his neighbor Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 100,000. It folded back to Ivgi and he called to see a flop.

Ivgi checked on {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Thorel instantly shoved for 400,000 even.

Ivgi was dumbfounded, smiled, and asked for a count. When he heard how much it was, he started talking. He used a time bank card and reasoned through the hand.

"Maybe you have queens," Ivgi said.

"Maybe" Thorel answered.

"But then I still win," Ivgi continued. "Why so much? It makes no sense!" Ivgi said.

Thorel just laughed and repeated answering "Maybe" when Ivgi told him his thoughts.

After about 25 seconds, Ivgi just slammed a couple of green 25,000-chips in the middle.

Kfir Ivgi: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Thorel was on the verge of scoring a huge double, the {5-Spades} on the turn was still good for him. The {K-Diamonds} on the river, though, wasn't and all he could mutter was "Ai! Ooh la la" as he made his way to the payout.
