Thorel Folds to Binder's Jam
Level 39
: Blinds 6,000,000/12,000,000, 12,000,000 ante
Bernhard Binder opened to 24,000,000 with Q♦10♦ on the button, and Jean-Noel Thorel called with J♣9♣ in the big blind.
Thorel checked his pair on the A♠7♣9♦ flop, and Binder slid out a bet of 40,000,000. Thorel called to the 8♣ turn, adding a straigh-flush draw to his pair.
Binder fired 90,000,000 with his straight draw, and Thorel stuck in a call. Thorel then led out for 80,000,000 on the 4♠ river.
Binder took some time before announcing all in for his last 345,000,000. Thorel took one last look at his cards before sending them to the dealer, and Binder's rail rejoiced again, singing "Walking in a Binder-Wonderland."
