Thorel Picks up Steam

Tyler Foran

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel raised 115,000 and Kayhan Mokri made the call.

The A?Q?7? flop hit the felt, and Mokri check-called a continuation bet of 150,000.

Both players checked through the Q? turn to see the 7? river. Mokri checked before Thorel announced all-in which forced the fold.

The next hand, Mokri opened 75,000 and Thorel made the call.

When the A?5?4? flop landed, Thorel check-called 60,000.

The A? fell on the turn and once checked to, Mokri continued with aggression, putting 180,000 across the line. Thorel splashed in the call and the 10? hit the river. Thorel took the lead this time, dropping 300,000 across the line and Mokri snap-mucked.
