: 100/200, 0 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel had lost a lot of chips in the first few levels but in the last ten minutes he has gone a long way to repairing the damage done; his special tactic? Hitting sets.
We saw Thorel move in for 7,050 on the river of a board reading 
. Marco Bognanni was his opponent and didn’t really seem to know where he was in the hand and made the call with 
. Thorel’s 
certainly beat that.
While we watched another table he had apparently hit another set and been paid and as we returned we saw Thorel scoop another big pot with a set of eights. The other players at the table were shaking their heads at the run of luck that had seen Thorel go from risk of ruin to above starting stack.
