Adams and Thorel Sent to the Rail

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Only a few minutes apart both Timothy Adams and Jean-Noel Thorel ran out of chips.

Adams called the shove of John Juanda in a blind-on-blind battle and both players turned over pocket pairs.

Timothy Adams: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
John Juanda: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The board of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} provided no help for Adams and he quickly left the tournament area.

One table over, Thorel open-shoved for his last 132,000 and Christoph Vogelsang moved all in over the top out of the small blind.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Christoph Vogelsang: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

While Thorel's cards were live, the {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop left him in need of running cards to stay in contention. It was all over with the {J-Diamonds} turn and that made the {K-Spades} river a formality.
