Thorel Starts to Gain Momentum
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 12,000 from early position and Derk van Luijk defended out of the big blind.
Van Luijk check-called a bet of 13,000 from Thorel on the K?4?6? flop.
Both players checked the Q? turn for the 6? to hit the river. Van Luijk fired out a bet of 25,000 and Thorel quickly called.
Luijk confidently turned over K?9? for top pair, but this was second best to the two pair of Thorel with K?Q? .
