Things Going South for Avellana

Miguel Avellana has taken another hit after coming off worst in a button versus big blind spot against Thibaut Thevent.

With 42,000 in the middle on a flop of J♠9♣6♥, Thevent check-called in the face of a bet of 20,000 from Avellana.

The same pattern followed on the 5♠ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 45,000 from Avellana.

Avellana could not find a triple-barrel on the 6♣ river, which was checked through, and he had to muck when Thevent tabled Q♦J♥ for top pair jacks.
