Level 15
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 55,000 on the button, and Jean-Noel Thorel called in the big blind.
Thorel check-called when Foxen continued for 65,000 on an 8♦4♦J♥ flop, then check-called again on the 6♠ turn after Foxen barreled for 180,000.
When the 4♠ completed the board, Thorel checked a third time. Foxen then applied maximum pressure, putting Thorel all-in. With 590,000 left in his stack, Thorel called.
"You're good", Foxen said, as he flipped over his 9♥5♣.
Thorel revealed he called with second pair, showing his Q♥8♠ to claim the pot.
