Thor-elimination
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The short stack success story of last night - Jean-Noel Thorel, who bubble dodged the very last hand of the sixth level picking up kings with 10bb - is no more. Now with 100,000+ in front of him, Thorel saw a heads up flop of with Simon Higgins. Higgins led 12,000 and Thorel made it 25,000. Quickly Higgins set him all in and he snap-called.

Thorel made a sound like, "Achhh," and took his leave while the British online qualifier sits with a stack of 650,000. Addressing Kristoffer Thorsson, he said, "You're the best player on this table - did you expect when he snap called he had ace-nine?"
"No," said Thorsson.
