Thorel Leaves Ponakovs Short
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Jean-Noel Thorel in the small blind who asked how much Aleksejs Ponakovs had behind before raising to 60,000. Ponakovs defended his big blind and they went heads-up to the 6?4?Q? flop.
Thorel continued for 75,000 and Ponakovs called. The turn was the J? and Thorel checked. Ponakovs then bet 69,000 and Thorel called.
Both players checked down the 5? river and Thorel showed J?10? for a pair of jacks to win the pot.
