Addamo Falls to Thorel in Massive Cooler

Connor Richards

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Addamo opened to 4,500 from the hijack and Mike Watson called on the button before Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind. Addamo four-bet to 42,000 and Watson folded. Thorel called.

Thorel checked on the flop and Addamo bet a 10,000 for just a fraction of the pot. Thorel called.

Thorel checked again on the turn and Addamo sized up to 55,000. Thorel check-raised to 110,000 and Addamo used a time bank before re-raising all in. Thorel called with a bigger stack.

Michael Addamo:
Jean-Noel Thorel:

Both players had flopped monsters as Addamo had top set and Thorel had the nut flush. The river failed to pair the board and Addamo was eliminated after the dealer confirmed the Frenchman had him covered.
