Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in 2nd Place (�471,500)
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a limped pot, the flop read A?K?5?, and Jean-Noel Thorel check-called a bet of 40,000 from Kayhan Mokri.
The 4? peeled off on the turn, and once Thorel checked, Mokri fired a bet of 175,000. Thorel check-shoved all-in putting Mokri to the test.
"Urgh, How much is it?" Asked Mokri as he contemplated. "What do you have?"
The dealer let him know it was 870,000 and he shrugged his shoulders as he announced the call.
Jean-Noel Thorel: J?3?
Kayhan Mokri: A?Q?
Thorel had turned a straight draw to go along with his flush draw, but the 3? river wasn't one of those outs as Mokri's pair of aces sent him to the rail in 2nd place for �471,500.
