Thorel Approaching Half a Million
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 6,000 and Sam Greenwood called. Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 40,000 and Kisacikoglu was the only caller. Both players ended up checking down a board of 
entirely and Kisacikoglu briefly showed his cards, but couldn't beat the 
of Thorel.
The Frenchman is closing in on half a million in chips, while Kisacikoglu dropped below the starting stack.
New on their table: Sergio Aido, who recently sat down on his first bullet.
