Greenwood Puts Thorel to the Test
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With the A? exposed as the burn card, Sam Greenwood raised to 3,000 from the hijack and Jean-Noel Thorel put out a three-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff. The action then folded back to Greenwood, who obliged with a call.
On the 6?4?K? flop, Greenwood check-called Thorel's continuation-bet of 10,000 before the J? turn went check-check.
Greenwood tossed in two T-25,000 chips in the middle when the Q? river arrived, enough to cover Thorel's remaining stack of 40,000. The French poker legend tanked for a short while, but ultimately elected to muck his hand and save his final chips.
