Picone Takes From Thorel
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Table light enthusiast Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 7,000 in middle position, and Igor Picone called on the button.
Thorel continued for 6,000 on the 2♦Q♠5♠ flop — with the help of tablemate Jans Arends to help him distinguish the chips — and Picone called. Both players then checked on the A♣ turn and again on the 2♠ river.
Thorel showed K♣7♣ for king-high as Picone rolled over 5♦4♦ to win the pot with a pair of fives.
