Thorel Takes the Lead
Level 38
: Blinds 5,000,000/10,000,000, 10,000,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 20,000,000 on the button with K♦J♦, and Bernhard Binder three-bet to 75,000,000 holding 9♣8♣ in the big blind.
Thorel called, and the 10♥Q♠3♣ flop was fanned out. Both players checked to the 4♠ turn, where Binder led out for 120,000,000. Thorel quickly reached for chips and made the call.
Binder checked the 10♦ river, and Thorel fired a bet of 75,000,000 with king-high. That was enough to take down the pot, as Binder folded while surrendering the chip lead.
