Thorel Takes the Lead
Level 19
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
In a battle button versus big blind, Jean-Noel Thorel bet the 
flop for 150,000 and Benjamin Pollak check-called. Pollak checked again the 
on the turn and called a bet of 250,000 before checking the 
on the river. Thorel bet 475,000 and Pollak called.
Thorel showed 
for a straight and Pollak sighed visibly, then mucked.
