Thorel Nearly Closes the Gap to Bonomo
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
David Yan opened to 40,000 and Justin Bonomo called out of the small blind, as did Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind. Three ways to the 
flop, it checked to Yan who made it 46,000 to go. Only Thorel check-called and did so again for 150,000 on the 
turn.
The 
on the river was then knuckled down and Thorel's 
for a pair of aces won the pot as he pulled closer to chip leader Yan.
