De Souza Gets Value From Thorel
Level 37
: Blinds 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante
Bernhard Binder raised to 16,000,000 on the button with A♦7♥, and Jean-Noel Thorel called in the small blind with A♣8♦. Belarmino De Souza defended his big blind holding 10♦9♥, and checked the 9♠5♣5♦ flop after Thorel had done the same.
Binder checked to the Q♣ turn, and all three players declined to bet. One last check from Thorel followed the 9♣ river, and De Souza fired 28,000,000 into the middle.
Biinder let his hand go, while Thorel made a quick call. De Souza tabled his full house, collecting the chips as Thorel mucked.
