Thorel Doubles Through Lococo with a Straight
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened 25,000 in middle position and Alejandro Lococo came along in the big blind.
On the Q?J?8? flop, Lococo check-called a bet of 29,000.
The 9? fell on the turn, and both players checked to see the 9? river.
Lococo took the lead, firing 107,000 into the middle, and Thorel jammed all-in for 179,000.
Lococo leaned back in his chair in distress as he tossed time bank chips to the dealer. After a couple of minutes, he made the call.
Thorel tabled 10?10? for a straight, and Lococo showed 8?4? as the dealer pushed the pot to Thorel.
