Three is Good For Thorel
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 80,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called in the cutoff.
The flop came 9?8?3? and Thorel bet 100,000. Mateos called. Both players then checked down the 2? turn and 6? river and Thorel turned over A?3? for a pair of threes. Mateos let out a laugh as he mucked.
Mateos got those chips back the next hand when he raised to 80,000 under the gun. Mike Watson three-bet to 230,000 in the small blind and Mateos moved all in for around 850,000. Watson quickly folded.
