Thorel Rivers a Flush to Double Up

Level 9 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a flop of {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, James Chen led out for 135,000 from under the gun. Jean-Noel Thorel shipped all in for 725,000 on the button and Chen asked for a count before making a sigh-call.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
James Chen: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {10-Clubs} on the turn was safe for Chen but the {a-Hearts} on the river gave Thorel a flush to double up.

Sekularac Shoves on Gonzalez and Chan

Level 9 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The flop read {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} with around 300,000 in the middle already.

Ognjen Sekularac had the all-in button in front of him from the big blind and Fabrizio Gonzalez (cutoff) and Wai Leong Chan (button) both had a bet of 204,000 in front of them.

Sekularac stack was worth 1,107,000 and Gonzalez was in the tank. He took about a minute before folding to leave Chan up for the decision. Chan contemplated for a while too while the rail kept creeping closer to try and see what was happening until a floor told them to keep their distance. Chan ended up folding.

The complete board was looking like {6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and there was about 350,000 in the pot. Fabrizio Gonzalez had a bet of 150,000 laying in front of him and Paul Phua had raised the bet to 430,000.

Gonzalez decided to three-bet all in for a total of 1,023,000. Phua asked the dealer to take 430,000 out of the stack of Gonzalez and take those bets to the middle. Then he asked the dealer to spread out the pot so he could take a good look at how much was actually in there.

After a tank of a couple minutes, he decided to let go of his hand and the 1,8 million pot went to Gonzalez
