Yan Takes the Rest of Thorel's Chips as he Cracks Kings
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
David Yan opened 8,000 in the cutoff before Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet 20,000 on the button. The blinds folded and after a short deliberation, Yan made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q?J?8?, and once Yan checked, Thorel shoved his remaining 31,000 into the middle. Yan snap-called.
Jean-Noel Thorel: K?K?
David Yan: Q?9?
Thorel was ahead with his pair of kings, but the 9? turn gave Yan two pair to take the lead and the 5? river was no help. With Thorel eliminated, the players combined into one table once again.
