Thorel Goes One for Two
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs defended the big blind. Both players checked through the 5?2?7? flop before Ponakovs led out for 22,000 on the 9? turn.
Thorel made the call, but quickly folded the 10? river once Ponakovs made a larger bet of 115,000.
The next hand, Thorel raised to 30,000 again, and this time it was Jesse Lonis who defended the big blind. On the 10?5?2? flop, Thorel fired 50,000 chips more, to which Lonis quickly check-folded.
