Things Going South for Avellana
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
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.
